The matter of the Cangling flood was reported layer by layer, and the relevant personnel were notified and prepared to go to Cangling County for rescue, and specially dispatched Gyeonggi garrisons to assist in going together.

Cangling is the Gyeonggi stronghold of Shengjing and one of the older county seats, and Zheng Quqi was appointed as the governor of the reconstruction of the disaster area, and she had to go to understand the disaster situation, and the local county government was responsible for the injuries, rescue of the victims, and the calculation of the area of the flood and the property damage.

However, the local county government could not bear so many things for a while, so in order to maintain order after the disaster and participate in the disaster relief and risk relief, the imperial court sent a team of 200 people to accompany it.

After the team was assembled, there were officials who would be superintendents, water conservancy officers, academicians and doctors of the Tai Hospital, and a garrison team, and they set off first, and it took a little time to prepare for the allocation of food and relief.

I don't know how much money the household department can take out of the treasury, but as far as Zheng Quqi knows, the state treasury of Ye is very poor, and at present, it can only use the materials and money in the local treasury.

Zheng Quqi sat in the carriage, and in this carriage were her colleagues, their expressions were serious, but it was not difficult to see that they were all a little nervous and scared.

To tell the truth, it is a dangerous job to go to a flooded place to control the flood, and not everyone is willing to go to the scene of the disaster.

Like Chen Daohao, the young craftsman of the South Cemetery, he spared his life, shirked his responsibility and only sent a few inconsequential palace craftsmen to follow, if it weren't for the fact that they were the supervising builders of the Cangling Weir this time, it is estimated that these few would not be willing to be sent.

"Lord Zheng, it looks like it's going to rain." They looked at the gloomy sky and worried.

Zheng Quqi raised his head and helped the small hat on his head, she went out this time to wear the uniform of Hualinyuan for convenience, and carried a big crossbody bag, which should prepare daily necessities and necessary tools are put in the bag, this time I am afraid that I will have to delay for a few days, this is still a smooth situation, if it does not go well, there are ten days and half a month.

"During this period of time, it was the rainy season, and the floods in Cangling have lasted for so many years, but they have not been improved and remediated in a limited way.

"What Master Zheng said is very true, but you are not dissatisfied with the draft of the Cangling weir we drawn, so we have not made a plan for a long time and started to prepare for the project." The people in the South Cemetery muttered quietly.

Is this to blame on her?

Could it be that they just throw a design manuscript and she can agree?

"Don't be too blind, go out and see the real Cangling County, not what you imagined, it needs to build a solid and long-term defense line, not a very grand and tall door, how fierce the flood is this time, you can see with your own eyes, and then you can probably understand how funny the thing you drew is."

Zheng Quchi's smiling and sneering language made the expressions of the people in Nan Cemetery embarrassed and angry, green and white for a while, they couldn't bear their anger, and they could only be angry at Hua Yuanyuan: "If you don't look down on our drawings, then don't use them in the future, you people in Hualin Garden will come by yourself." ”

Hua Linyuan: "......" is not, why not winter melon, only grind eggplant?

The carriage they sat in was enough for eight people, the long carriage was well loaded, the internal structure was stable, and although it was shaky and tight in the face of uneven roads, it was at least much higher than the carriages she had ridden before.

Zheng Quqi just inexplicably felt that it was a little familiar, as if it was ...... Her copycat "black bear" van?

Take a closer look, good guys, it's not easy to innovate in this era, but piracy is in full bloom.

However, since the "Black Bear" trucks have imitation versions, this shows that Yeguo's car dealers have begun to distribute "Black Bears" in large quantities, and even sell well, so there is such a "grand occasion".

For a while, Zheng Quqi had mixed feelings in his heart.

I don't know whether to be angry or happy.

Finally, her business sector is about to expand, and from now on, she is no longer a two-pocket empty, she is also a person with assets!

It's her career, but it's obviously not so smooth.

The project of Cangling Dayan was taken first by the South Cemetery, and she did not plan to consult with the people of Hualin Garden, this matter had been decided before she took office, and after the formal procedures, she did not bother to come back, that is to say, she only had the right to decide on this matter, and did not have the right to participate.

This matter is troublesome, she has a hunch that the palace craftsman in the South Cemetery is estimated to not be able to eat such a big piece of cake as Cangling Dayan.

She can't wait for something to happen before intervening, right?

But intervene in advance, others will definitely die His Royal Highness, she is already on the cusp of a female official, if it provokes unnecessary criticism, saying that she is greedy for merit and wants to take advantage of the South Cemetery in vain, or that she relies on the relationship between the prince and is tyrannical and domineering, and has no heart to tolerate people......

Headache.

After becoming an official, she often felt migraines because she couldn't handle this kind of intrigue well.

It would be nice if Yuan Xingzhou wasn't Yu Wensheng, she would usually ask him for ideas when she encountered this kind of thing, and she didn't bother to bother to fight.

"How long will it take to get to Cangling?"

She lifted the curtains and asked the team outside.

A soldier replied, "Back to Lord Zheng, there will probably be more than an hour." ”

"Tell you Captain Wu, if you encounter someone who is not easy to walk on the road again, just call us to get off the car and walk for a while, and when you go out, you don't have to pay too much attention to these."

Not long ago, when I encountered a muddy road that was difficult to walk, the wheels were so deep in it that I couldn't pull out, and the horses couldn't pull them out with all their strength, and then they called a dozen young soldiers to pull them out, but even so, they didn't ask anyone to get off.

First, they were just ordinary soldiers, and the people in the car were all Shengjing officials, and they didn't have the courage to let them get out of the car and step on the mud in the rain and stain their clothes.

Second, their thinking is to solve difficulties when there are difficulties, and it is their responsibility to send the people in the car to their destinations, and they have not thought that they can understand and work together to overcome difficulties.

Zheng Quqi's words made the soldiers who heard it stunned, and after a while, he said, "Yes." ”

How difficult the ancient road is, Zheng Quqi has already experienced it, even if it is a carriage that sits well, it is the same as sitting in a rocking car, and the bones of the whole body can be shaken apart, but in order to reach Cangling County according to the original plan, the people in the car are also hard, and no one shouts bitterly and tired...... Or maybe they're used to it.

When they arrived near Cangling County, the soldiers said that the deepest part of the front had accumulated nearly half a person's height of water, and the road was flooded and they could not walk.

So Zheng Quqi asked someone to stop the car, she climbed to the high slope, looked at Cangling City, only to see that the city was washed away by the mountain flood, the ditch in the city and the foundation groove of the city wall were washed away by the flood is very obvious, and a large area of cultivated land was washed away by the flood of the river, which is really ruined.

How many lives must have been lost in this catastrophe......

"So serious?" Her face was pale.

"The urban area has receded, but the lake area and the farmland have overflowed and collapsed." Jiang Yuan also had a heavy face.

Liang Tian saw that the city was empty, and asked, "What about the people in the government?" Why don't you see them searching for and rescuing the victims? ”

"Now that the flood has not receded, I am afraid of injuring people, so I may not have dispatched for the time being." Others speculated.

"It's raining again, let's go and take shelter."

At this time, Captain Wu trotted over with the soldiers, and he clenched his fists: "Lord Zheng, we found the Cangling County Order not far away, they have temporarily built a temporary shelter on the high ground, and we can see people in the past now." ”

"Okay."

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, but fortunately, I didn't walk long on the muddy mountain road, and I saw a temporary shelter on a flat land.

"You don't have an umbrella with you?"

Umbrella?

"Oh, it's on the carriage."

The carriage was not easy to follow, so it was tied to the foot of the mountain, and they walked in such a hurry that they forgot to bring rain gear.

Seeing this, the county commander didn't say anything, but turned around and hurriedly asked his subordinates to get the clothes, the rain was too strong, and the umbrella just looked elegant, but it was not as well sheltered as the clothes.

"That's Lord Zheng?"

He shouted in the rain.

"I am."

Zheng Quqi walked out.

The county magistrate saw that her hair was wet into a pile and stained on her face, and he couldn't see her appearance clearly, only that she was a thin teenager who looked fair-skinned and didn't look very old.

"Come, take an umbrella to cover the rain."

Zheng Quqi saw that he handed someone a robe, but asked her to use an umbrella, and she immediately stated that she wanted to treat everyone equally: "The county ordered you to fight, and I will also wear a robe." ”

The county commander was stunned, he saw that she was mixed with a high-ranking official at such a young age, and he thought it was a related household, but he never thought that people were not squeamish.

That's right, in the eyes of everyone, Dajiangqing is a position with a high salary, salted fish, and bastard labels, and those who have been in office for generations have no real talent and real learning, all of them are the hard work of the people at the bottom, and they sit on it and enjoy it, and they have no contribution value to this position at all.

Later, he simply set up a fictitious position, and occasionally used it to reward officials, and took it for nothing.

It was because of this time that a master craftsman came, and the county order only used her as a Buddha to offer, as for whether she could do anything and whether she could be beneficial to this flood, then he would not be extravagant.

"My lord, let's go into the shed and bake wet clothes." The prefectural order's tone was more sincere.

After Zheng Quqi put on his robe, he asked, "Can you give me a separate place to bake?" ”

Just said that she is good looking, not pretentious, and will reveal her prototype immediately? The county commander frowned: "Lord Zheng doesn't have to worry, the lower official will arrange for people to travel with you......"

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Liang Tian hurriedly whispered, "Lord Zheng is a woman." ”

The county commander was stunned: "...... Woman? ”

When the official document was issued, he didn't say that this Lord Zheng was a woman, when did they have a female official in Yeguo, why didn't he know?!

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has killed too many officials, and he has no time to fill this hole, and even women are appointed when he is hungry?

Although the county magistrate was shocked and unexpected, he was already exhausted at his age, and he was facing many disasters and storms...... There is always a reason for the inevitable existence of things that do not conform to common sense, which is a truth that he has realized in his long life.

After he came back to his senses, he said with a normal expression: "Xiaguan immediately arranged it for Lord Zheng." ”

——

Zheng Quqi walked out after drying his body, the rain was already light, it was terrible dark, and the county soldiers who came and went seemed to be busy with something, and seeing that the others had not come out yet, she planned to take a stroll around the camp.

She walked a little further forward from the makeshift shack and hut complex, which was a large cleared area with no shelter, and she saw a number of displaced people lined up in front of her, scooping something into an iron pot.

One bowl per person, with soldiers supervising them, order was well maintained.

At this time, the sky was still drizzling, the wind was blowing, and the fire burning below had already been extinguished.

On rainy days, the temperature plummets, and if you eat cold food, you are prone to cold and dysentery, especially after this disaster, the body's immunity is extremely low.

"Fellow, what are you eating?"

The victims found a place to squat, and were holding a bowl to drink, when they looked up, they saw a smiling young man in a hat squatting in front of them, they didn't know if he was a refugee, but judging by his well-dressed clothes and handsome face, he should not be from an ordinary family.

A little restrained: "This young master, let's eat rice porridge." ”

Zheng Quqi glanced at the bowl, it was very thin, and there were some white rice grains floating on it, and she looked around again, only to see that these victims did not have a shed to shelter from the rain on the county order, they could only sit on the stones that were moved, split their thighs, and picked up the notched pottery bowl and cheered.

I didn't dislike it, I didn't complain, I didn't feel sad, I just wanted to survive numbly and calmly.

Zheng Quqi said gently: "Old man, what kind of young master am I, I see that this porridge is cold, why don't you burn the fire?" ”

"It's burning, but the wind is too strong, plus the rain doesn't stop, and when it gets wet, it emits black smoke, and it's so tight, our people have tried it several times, alas, it's okay to be able to cook and eat, it's already a blessing for us people to be alive, and the rest...... That's it. ”

But she didn't look like it was cooked.

After Zheng Quqi understood the situation, he stood up on his knees: "Old man, in fact, this matter is not difficult, as long as you simply build a triangular tent, you can avoid this situation." ”

The old man couldn't understand what she was saying, he just nodded perfunctorily, and then continued to drink his cold porridge.

Alas...... The chestnuts are hard to swallow, and the only way to swallow the dates is to swallow them.

After Zheng Quqi borrowed an axe from the county soldiers, he went into the woods, and it didn't take long for him to carry two pieces of wood as thick as adult legs.

Many people couldn't help but be surprised that she was small but had great strength, and at the same time looked curiously at what she did.

For this simple construction of the triangular shed, do not need to be maintained later, but also do not need to be used for a long time, after the framework is integrated, it can be used with moves, it is very convenient to use, only need to build with a mortise and tenon structure, one by one, and then there will be a solid roof of a triangular structure.

Narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, it can effectively accommodate the round iron pot to burn below, leaving no smoke, not blocking the line of sight, surrounded on three sides, sheltering from wind and rain. (End of chapter)
