The rain has been pouring down without stopping and is still expanding. Shen Ling's situation has not improved, and Yun Moxi went to investigate twice before and after, constantly improving the prescription.

Ever since Qingying reported that the town began to have waterlogging, Yun Moxi has always kept this matter in mind. Not only did he have to take on the heavy responsibility of treating Shen Ling, but he also had to worry about the situation in Hexiang Town, and two major events hit at the same time, making Yun Moxi busy.

When Qingying led the mayor back, Yun Moxi happened to check Shen Ling's latest situation.

The mayor of Hexiang Town is over fifty years old, maybe he has a good life, and he looks very energetic. However, at this time, Yun Moxi also saw that the other party was a little nervous.

"Wang Liuzhi, the mayor of Hexiang Town, see Yun Shizi." Wang Liuzhi is a native of Hexiang Town, he has never seen any big people in his life, and the biggest official he has ever seen is the Taishou of Shangyuan City, and today is the first time he has seen a noble person in the imperial city. Although Yun Moxi is not an official in the court and has no real position, Yun Bohou Mansion is the largest family in Dongyue, and the identity of the prince is also a symbol, if there is no accident, he will be the next Yun Bohou.

Although Wang Liuzhi was a little nervous, he behaved very well, and he didn't look like a submissive person at all, and Yun Moxi appreciated this.

"Mayor Wang doesn't have to be polite."

"Xie Shizi."

"You may be seated."

As soon as Wang Liuzhi sat down, Yun Moxi asked, "I don't know how many years the town mayor has served in Hexiang Town. ”

"It's been more than 20 years." Before coming here, he had already roughly understood some of Yun Moxi's purpose for summoning him from Qingying, and he was already prepared for Yun Moxi's questioning. "However, he is a native of Hexiang Town, and has lived here for more than 50 years."

"The mayor of the town should be very familiar with the big and small things in Hexiang Town."

"Yes." Wang Liuzhi is still very confident in this.

"Good." Yun Moxi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. continued, "Then I'd like to hear what Mayor Mare's opinion has to say about the rainstorm. ”

Before Qingying found him, Wang Liuzhi didn't know that the town had begun to have waterlogging, and as the head of a town, he was indeed derelict in his duties. Wang Liuzhi pondered it again and again, got up and bowed deeply towards Yun Moxi, and said, "In this matter, I am guilty of despicability, and I ask the prince to punish him." ”

Yun Moxi heard this, and didn't let Wang Liuzhi get up, "Let's hear it." ”

"As the head of a town, he didn't know that the town had been waterlogged due to continuous heavy rains, and he was guilty of dereliction of duty."

"In that case, you are indeed guilty of dereliction of duty."

Hearing what the other party said, Wang Liuzhi was already determined to be punished. "Please punish the prince."

Wang Liuzhi gave Yun Moxi the feeling that he was not a mediocre official who neglected his duties and did not act, so he wanted to hear what caused it. "I want to hear your explanation."

didn't expect the other party to give himself a chance to explain, and Wang Liuzhi's opinion of Yun Moxi, the "son of an official lord", changed slightly. Everyone in the world is said to be the son of Yun Bohou Mansion is peerless, and the prince of Yagai, although he has heard a lot of deeds from the other party in the past, but he has not personally contacted it, Wang Liuzhi just thinks that the world is exaggerating.

"It's a shame. He was born in his forties and had a child, but due to the advanced age of the child, the child was in poor physical condition and was weak and sickly since he was a child. The wind and rain came urgently, and the child suffered from the wind cold and fell ill that day. In the past few days, he has been worried about the child's condition and neglected the official affairs of the town. Didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect there to be waterlogging in Hexiang Town." Yun Moxi said unspoken words for the other party.

"Guilty of lowly duty."

"As for your dereliction of duty, I will discuss it later. I would like to hear your opinion on the drainage capacity of Hexiang Town, and whether similar situations have happened in the past, and how to deal with them. Based on your experience, can you tell when this rain will stop? ”

Unexpectedly, since Yun Moxi did not immediately hold himself accountable, but focused on the waterlogging in Hexiang Town, Wang Liuzhi's opinion of Yun Moxi changed a little. "There are nearly 100 ponds in Hexiang Town, and the water flow from all over Hexiang Town basically flows to these ponds of different sizes. Since his birth, these ponds have been able to withstand every rainwater discharge and have never experienced waterlogging. Of course, the humble position has never seen such a heavy rain in Hetang Town in a row without stopping. ”

"Rainwater draining into the pond? Aren't you worried about the pond being filled with water? Yun Moxi asked.

"Shizi doesn't know that the ponds in Hexiang Town are all interconnected, and they are connected to the Duogu River outside the town, so there has been no backfilling."

"I see."

"However, I have heard that about 80 years ago, there was a very serious flood in the town of Hexiang. It is said that the disaster was so severe that almost the entire town was flooded, almost all buildings were damaged, and the people suffered heavy casualties. ”

According to Wang Liuzhi, although there was a flood in Hexiang Town, the casualties of the people and the damage to the buildings were very serious, which means that the flood was not effectively defended, and there is nothing to learn from them now.

"Mayor Town, you just came from the town, in your opinion, how long can Hexiang Town last with the current rain?"

"One day at most."

One day? "In one day, how can this prince think that the mayor is not in a hurry at all."

Can I not be in a hurry?

Ever since Qingying appeared in front of him with the token of Yun Bohou's Mansion and explained his intentions, he began to feel uneasy. He was overwhelmed by the stagnant water he saw on the streets, and the endless rain in the sky with dark clouds, and when he thought of the flood 80 years ago.

But for some reason, the closer I got to the other courtyard, the calmer my heart became. Xu is aware that he has committed the crime of dereliction of duty, and even if he is punished, he should be punished. And since Yun Moxi summoned him with his identity, indicating that the other party must find a way to resolve this crisis, then he should cheer up and cooperate with the arrangement and make the greatest rescue.

"If you return to the world, it's not that you are not in a hurry, but that you think that you should face it calmly at this moment, so that you can better cooperate with the son of the world to resolve this natural disaster."

Very good. Yun Moxi expressed his appreciation for this fifty-year-old man for having this understanding.

It is understood that under normal circumstances, you can go back and forth from Hexiang Town to Shangyuan City in a day, but the current road is only afraid that it will be difficult to walk. One day is simply not enough, and the first thing they need to do now is to gain the maximum time and wait for the rescue of Uehara City. The second is to save oneself, and we must not sit idly by.

"This son wants to understand the layout of Hexiang Town first."

Hearing this, Wang Liuzhi took out a town distribution map from his arms and handed it to Yun Moxi, "This is the town distribution map of Hexiang Town, please check it out for the prince." Before going out, Wang Liuzhi deliberately took this picture, but he didn't expect it to be really used.

Wang Liuzhi was the first to think of this, and Yun Moxi was even more impressed by him, but it was a pity that he was old.

From the map, Hexiang Town is basically distributed in a semicircle, the diameter of the circle is bordered by the Nanjiang Canal to the south, the northwest is surrounded by mountains, and the northeast is the Duogu River. The terrain of Hexiang Town is low in the southeast and high in the northwest, and the courtyard where they are located at this moment happens to be at the highest point of the town. This was a great blessing for Yun Moxi, because Shen Ling's condition was not suitable for moving at the moment, and in this highest place, he would be able to hold on for a little longer.

Not far from the annex is the ancestral hall in Hexiang Town, which can be used as a temporary relocation site. If even this place is flooded by then, they will have to move their personnel to the mountains to the northwest. However, it is not yet known what the geology of the mountains is, and whether there will be landslides after many days of heavy rain remains to be known.

In addition to Qingying, the other shadow guards still take the land route, and the two sides will meet again at the junction of Nanhe City and Yicheng. Therefore, at present, except for Qingying, Yun Moxi has no more subordinates to transfer. Therefore, in terms of personnel, it depends more on the people in the town.

Yun Moxi asked Qingying to take the token of Yun Bohou's Mansion and his own letter to Shangyuan City to find Taishou Liu Rufang to come to the rescue. Liu Rufang was a student of Yun Moxi's father, Yun Cangbai, and had close contacts with Yun Bohou's Mansion, so Yun Moxi was not worried at all that the other party would question this matter or refuse his order, and he didn't need to ask the town mayor to send someone to go with Qingying, so he could save a lot of time.

Wang Liuzhi obeyed Yun Moxi's order, first transferred the people on lower ground to the ancestral hall in an orderly manner, and organized the people to transfer the grain stored in each family and all the medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and all the medicinal materials used in the flood were paid by Yun Moxi. And let all the doctors in the town be responsible for the health and safety of the people to avoid epidemics.

At the same time, people were sent to the port of Hexiang Town to build a river embankment with sandbags to prevent the backflow of the Nanjiang Canal as much as possible and speed up the accumulation of water in the town. In addition, a pair of people were sent to dredge the junction of the pond in the town and the Tagu River, so as to prevent the mud from blocking the river and causing the water in the pond in the town to be discharged. He also had several drainage routes built in the town with sandbags to divert the stagnant water to the Tagu River as much as possible and keep the higher ground free of stagnant water.

……

Wang Liuzhi implemented various flood prevention measures set by Yun Moxi in an orderly manner. And it can be flexibly adjusted within the cloud moxie measures, drawing inferences from one another. When the people in the town learned about this, they also cooperated, and even higher-level people volunteered to accept the people who needed to be transferred.

After all, Hexiang Town is just a small town, and there are not many rich and noble families, but there are a few members of the ranks, I heard that it is the first son of the world who is peerless, Yun Moxi, the prince of Yun Bohou Mansion, who personally organized everyone to prevent natural disasters, and also contributed money and efforts, hoping to leave a good impression in front of Yun Moxi, maybe they can compare some relationships in the future.

Hearing that Wang Liuzhi's son's condition had not yet recovered, Yun Moxi suggested that the other party send him to another hospital, and he would personally treat him, and Wang Liuzhi was grateful.
