Chapter 901: Successful Drainage
The group entered the main city in a mighty way, and Su Xiaoman looked out the window from the carriage.
She found that the situation in the city had improved, and it was not as good as before, and the whole city began to be a little angry.
Several prefects also came in horse-drawn carriages and led the way in the carriage in front.
When the people of the city saw the new carriage entering the city, they knew in their hearts that it must be the official who interceded for them.
The people were already grateful, and each of them had tears in their eyes, so they knelt respectfully on the ground and said some words of thanks.
"Your Excellency is wise, and the Holy One is wise!"
Listening to the sound of brushing outside, Su Xiaoman was a little moved in his heart, he didn't expect the people here to be so affectionate.
I thought about saying a few words, but I felt that it was not polite on the road, so I quieted down silently, planning to find time to visit the people again.
At this time, it was the hottest time of the day, and the people came to kneel down and worship Su Xiaoman.
As if they didn't know the heat, they knelt in the hot sun.
Su Xiaoman sat in the car, thinking that this was not good after all, so he calculated the time in his heart and calculated when he would be able to reach the county government.
However, after a long time, the group arrived at the county government, and Su Xiaoman got up and prepared to get out of the car as soon as he saw that the car had stopped.
Pearl Xianglan and the two got out of the car first, and then helped Su Xiaoman get down from the high-level carriage.
At this time, the ground was a little hot from the sun, and after Su Xiaoman got out of the car, he felt like he was walking on a hot pot.
Looking at the heat wave slowly rising on the surface of the ground, as well as the people kneeling on the street, Su Xiaoman hurriedly walked towards the prefect.
"Prefect, it's not too good for these people to kneel all the time, if the weather is hot, it's not good, it's not good, hurry up and order someone to go down and get them up."
After hearing this, the local prefect immediately saluted respectfully and said.
"What Su Shangshu said is that the lower official will order someone to go."
After that, the prefect took care of his subordinates, and then ordered the people to go back and do their own things.
Su Xiaoman was still worried about the people, and he didn't settle down until he saw that the subordinates of the county government had gone out to notify him.
The prefect arranged the matter, and then turned to Su Xiaoman and said.
"Su Shangshu, it's hot, let's go to the house to rest first."
Su Xiaoman felt that it was okay, although the weather was hot and her face was covered with light sweat, but when she thought that the drought had been solved, Su Xiaoman felt very comfortable.
But this is not her territory, after all, it is a guest, so she listened to the master and spoke.
"Then it's all up to the prefect's arrangement, and when the weather is cooler, it's not too late to check the accounts."
The group was at the gate of the county government, and after explaining the things that let the people rest, they followed the local prefect into the county government.
Because Su Xiaoman has been here, he has not made any publicity around.
Shi Jizhen and Huang Fengyi were really far away for the first time, and they looked around with some sighs.
The facilities in this county government are very simple, except
Weeds and wildflowers, basically there are no green plants, not as good as their house in Shangjing.
The local prefect was upright and very incorruptible, and in the event of a famine, he would distribute his own food to the people.
Therefore, there is no extra silver to decorate the county government, so it will look miserable.
Although Shi Ji Zhen and the others felt that the county government was a little shabby, they also maintained their own posture and did not have a bad attitude from being discovered by others.
The local prefect also knew what he was like here, and Su Shangshu didn't dislike it at that time, of course, he shouldn't have disliked it first.
Of course, Su Xiaoman would not dislike it, she naturally followed the prefect's guidance, walked through the courtyard, and came to a cooler room.
The local prefect beckoned everyone to sit down, and then ordered someone to bring tea and snacks and other things.
When he had finished speaking, he sat down with them and asked.
"Su Shangshu, what are the arrangements for a while?"
Su Xiaonuan sat upright, posing easy-going.
Looking at their group of prefects, they wondered whether the south-to-north water diversion project was successful, and then spoke.
"I didn't have any arrangements, I just wanted to see how much water was stored in the local reservoir. When I left Beijing, the emperor gave an order to open the floodgates, and I guess the water has been stored in the reservoir recently. ”
Everyone in the room was very quiet, Su Xiaoman's official position was the largest, and it was right that everything she said was right.
But Su Xiaoman didn't think so, looked at the restrained prefects, and said.
"Why are you so restrained, I'm not a man-eating monster, can I still eat you?"
All the prefects, except for the newly appointed one, all knew what kind of person Su Xiaoman was, so they were no longer restrained, and they all said yes.
Then the local prefect seemed to have something to say, after all, this place was also relatively close to one of the three reservoirs, so he still had some right to speak.
Since he got the news of the opening of the gate, he will go to check every day, and he doesn't know if it will succeed.
Just two days ago, the artificially carved river channel flowed into the area again.
The prefect ordered someone to pour tea for all the adults, and then replied truthfully to Su Xiaoman.
"Back to Su Shangshu, there is a water flow into the reservoir through an artificial river recently, but the water flow is smaller."
Su Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, a little smaller, probably because it was a diversion.
Maybe the prefect here knows what the situation is, Su Xiaoman thought about the plan at that time, and said.
"It's normal for the water to be small, because some of it is sent into the existing local waterways. This reservoir is just a stock for the future. ”
The local prefect is not very well-informed, only knows that the reservoir is gradually nearby, and does not know that there is a diversion.
But the newly appointed prefect next to him knew, because he had just taken office, so he inquired very clearly about the affairs of the imperial court.
Su Xiaoman took a sip of the tea poured by the next person, and the sweet taste exploded in her mouth, making her not hot in an instant.
The new prefect looked at the people,
Then he said timidly.
"There is a diversion of water, and the water that has recently come out of the reservoir has been stored, and the originally dry river has become abundant."
Su Xiaoman tasted tea carefully, and when he heard the words of the new prefect, he nodded silently.
Then he put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the tall and thin young man, and carefully counted it.
Unexpectedly, it was a sensible person, and knowing what she wanted to know, he opened his mouth and praised it.
"If it's really a junior who can't be underestimated, he is so attentive to these things, which is worthy of praise."
The newly promoted prefect has been affirmed by the officials, not arrogant or impatient, and does not have that kind of overjoyed affection.
Just bowed his head slightly, clasped his hands and said modestly.
"Xia Guan just did his best to do things, Su Shangshu praised it."
Shi Ji Zhen and the two sat aside, watching them be polite to each other, with some background meaning.
Originally, they came to see the results, and they were quite bored to be short here.
When the old prefect heard the words of the new prefect, they were also very impressed, and they praised him one after another.
"The future is terrifying, if you really observe carefully, you admire, admire."
Then there was a burst of praise, but the new prefect was not too proud, just thanked him one by one, and said that he didn't dare to take it.
It didn't take long for the hot breath to fade away.
Thinking that it couldn't be too late to check the situation, Su Xiaoman got up and said.
"I think it's almost time, let's go and check it out now, if it's dark, I'm afraid I won't see anything."
Everyone also rested enough, and they all replenished their water, so they followed Su Xiaoman's advice.
Come to think of it, there is still some distance from the reservoir, and if you go later, you may not be able to see anything.
Without packing up anything, they set off for the nearest reservoir.
In addition to the artificial river, three reservoirs were built on the edge of the five cities on this side, so that water could be used during the dry season.
The design of the river is also perfect, and it does not change the flow direction of the original southern channel, and only when the water rises there will it lead to this side through the artificial channel.
On weekdays, the sluice gates on the dam are locked to prevent water from being cut off in the south.
The crowd drove and arrived near the reservoir by evening.
After Su Xiaoman got out of the car, he saw the big pit of righteousness that had been repaired.
The big round pit had been filled with quite a lot of cool water at this time, and I don't know how much it was injected.
The small artificially dug line on the high side is constantly bringing fresh water from afar.
On the other side of the reservoir, there is also a line dug by hand, and it seems that this direction leads to the nearby fields.
Su Xiaoman looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was inexplicably sad, this perennial drought and famine place finally didn't have to be embarrassed by God anymore.
Shi Jizhen looked at the situation nearby, nodded tacitly, and said.
"This proposal is really good, so that when the south is flooded, this side is full
Disk reception can also solve the problem of water shortage here, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. ”
Su Xiaoman chuckled, she was just mentioning it at the time, and the most important heroes must be the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
Huang Fengyi was also very shocked on the side, she never thought that she could solve it like this.
She reflected in her heart, and it seemed that she had a lot to learn.
She looked at Su Xiaoman's calm appearance on the side, looking like a golden light, and then praised loudly.
"It won't be Xiaoman, I am well-informed, such a difficult problem can be solved, I need to learn more."
The prefects present, of course, also thought she was very talented, so they also praised her.
Su Xiaoman didn't feel that it was his own credit, and then said modestly.
"I'm just putting forward some ideas, the important thing is the emperor's instructions, and the design of the Ministry of Industry officials."
