The former magistrate of Yuhe County left with his family, and Shen Jingcheng looked at the tattered county government, and he still couldn't come back to his senses.

The front yamen is better, after all, it is a county façade, although the old one is not good, but at least it is impermeable to wind and rain, but the place where the backyard lives is a little bad.

Except for the two main rooms, which had some furniture or something, the other four houses were empty, and even two of the houses could see the sky outside through the gaps in the roofs.

Although the sunlight refracted through the gaps into the room looks very meaningful, living here is not the same thing.

In addition, the west side of this yard is a large vegetable field, and there is a stinky chicken nest in the east, of course, the chickens have been taken away by the original magistrate, and the vegetables in the vegetable field have not been pulled out because they have just emerged and are not yet mature.

Shen Jingcheng looked at the environment, his mouth opened and closed, he wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.

The Yuhe County in his memory is poor, and he knows that the place where he and Ah Jin have lived is poor, but now that he is used to living in his own mansion, he suddenly faces such an environment, and he can't accept it.

If you want to repair it, there is no silver in the account books of Yuhe County, but if you don't repair it, this courtyard can't be lived.

What's more, his family still has a child who is less than a month old, and Ah Jin has never lived in such a house in these years, so I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to it here.

Shen Jingcheng was a little nerve-wracking.

At this time, he felt that it was very unreasonable for the old emperor to stipulate that officials were not allowed to buy houses and land in the place where they were serving, just like his current situation.

If you don't repair your house, you can't live in it. If you want to repair the house, you have no money in your account.

The current situation is that if he wants to be able to live in people, he has to pay for it himself, but the problem is that the county government is the county government of the government, and he pays his own money to repair the house, which is equivalent to paying his own money to repair the house for the government.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingcheng was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

Who has ever seen an official have to post it upside down?

Therefore, it cannot be upside down, but only the wool is out of the sheep.

Early the next morning, Shen Jingcheng went to the front yamen to find the master of Yuhe County, and said, "Master Fang, you can find someone to find a few reliable carpenters to repair the house in the backyard." ”

The main book of this surname Fang is a local in Yuhe County, and he is in the age of not being confused, judging from the clothes that have been washed to white, the family background does not seem to be very good.

When Master Fang heard Shen Jingcheng's words, he subconsciously said, "But the money in the account is not enough to buy materials and wages?" ”

"Isn't there a commercial tax to be collected at the end of the month, let the craftsmen do it first, and then go to the materials when the commercial tax is recorded, so as not to delay things."

Master Fang's eyes widened when he heard this, nervous and vigilant: "But that's what we want to do." ”

He owes his money for half a year, and if he doesn't pay it again, he won't be able to open the pot.

"I won't send it first, and then I will be reissued when there is money in the account." Shen Jingcheng said.

Master Fang was stunned by what he said, and asked again, "What about the craftsman's wages?" ”

"Resist conscription, repair a house for a few days, and resist conscription for a few days."

Master Fang opened his mouth speechlessly, but he couldn't say anything more, so he could only go back and do something.

He thought that the original county master would be enough to pick, but he didn't expect that this county master would not be far behind.

Master Fang left, and there was nothing to do in the yamen for the time being, so Shen Jingcheng took the horse and walked out of the yamen, and went directly to the grain store that Fu Yu had already bought.

At this time, there was only one newly hired shopkeeper greeting a few customers, and Fu Yu might still be building a route along the road, so he wasn't here.

Shen Jingcheng didn't stay in the store for long, only walked around a lot, and then drove out of the county.

He has to go to the edge of the Yellow River to see the situation of the embankment, he doesn't care whether he is rich or poor, but the embankment must not have problems, don't let a heavy rain come down, the embankment will not collapse all at once, it will be very dangerous.

His family didn't know how many years they were going to be here, and they couldn't say anything about the danger they were going to face all the time.

Shen Jingcheng followed his memory through several places where the river bends, stopped in front of one of the embankments that seemed to have just been repaired, and as soon as he stepped on the embankment, his feet sank deep into the soil.

Shen Jingcheng's brows were deeply locked, what use can such a dam be topped?

But considering that this is a sharp turn, even if people step on it strongly, it may not be able to stop the surging floodwater, and it is somewhat understandable why this newly built levee is like this.

The small water is not blocked by the dike, and the big water dikes can't be stopped, and it is estimated that people simply went with him because of this.

Shen Jingcheng took a deep breath, stepped on the horse and began to walk back.

Fortunately, he has a good gentleman, who talks about almost every aspect of knowledge, although he doesn't talk in detail when he lectures, but at least he doesn't rush around.

It's just that this water control is not an overnight thing, and it has to be planned well.

When he returned to the county, Shen Jingcheng began to write to Gu Jin, telling her about the situation here and asking her to come later, after all, the house here had not been repaired.

Gu Jin was already out of confinement when she received the letter, and when she saw the situation of the embankment mentioned in Shen Jingcheng's letter, she almost immediately thought of the floods in her previous life.

Gu Jin subconsciously felt cold, but these things were unavoidable, and he could only see how to repair the embankment as Shen Jingcheng said.

While thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that when Jiang Zhengshu gave a lecture to the two of them, she occasionally mentioned that there was a book dedicated to water control, and immediately ran to ask Jiang Zhengshu.

"Sir, I remember you once said that there was a book dedicated to water control, what is it called?"

Jiang Zhengshu was stunned when asked, and recalled: "River Defense Record? What's the matter, why do you ask this? ”

"That's the ......," Gu Jin said the letter that Shen Jingcheng had written to her.

Jiang Zhengshu listened clearly, thought about it and said: "I had a student who seemed to have entered the water department, I wrote to ask, no, I still went to the ministry in person, if that person is still in the water department, I will ask how to deal with the place where the river turns, if not, I can also find other students, see if I can find someone who has studied this aspect, water control is not a trivial matter, it is not something that can be done by reading a book." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jin was stunned when he heard this, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and asked, "Wouldn't this be too troublesome?" It's so far to the capital, and you're getting older......"

"What's big?" Jiang Zhengshu interrupted her indifferently and said, "I'm not so delicate, besides, aren't there our stores along the road?" It's just a rush, and nothing can happen. If you have this time, you might as well pack some things for me and bring them with you. ”

Jiang Zhengshu said and asked her to quickly pack her things, and at the same time said: "I will go directly to Yuhe County when I come back from the capital, you will go with Fu Xiaozi at that time, don't be alone on the way." ”

"Hey." Gu Jin was so moved that he didn't know what to say, so he went to call Shen Jingcheng's little servant Yang Shu and asked him to accompany Jiang Zhengshu to the capital, after all, he had come and gone back to the capital more than once, and the route was also familiar.

After Jiang Zhengshu left, Gu Jin still went to the county to get a road guide, went to the bookstore in Fucheng to collect some books on water conservancy, and when Fu Yu came back, he took the child in his arms and took a cart of things with Gu Xiu on the road to Yuhe County.

Although Shen Jingcheng asked her to be later, for her, she can live in a good or bad house, and isn't there still Gu Xiu's shop there? It's a big deal that she will live in the store with her children and Gu Xiu first, and it will be okay to do so.

However, Gu Jin felt that the house could be lived in in good or bad terms, but Gu Ling'er, who was far away in Jishui Mansion, did not think so.
