One Government Official Per Family Is Enough
Lu Cijian was stunned. He looked at the person who came. Seeing that Jiang Yimian was only holding an oiled paper umbrella, many parts of her body were already wet. He quickly stepped forward to block the direction the wind was blowing from, and frowned, “Why are you here? Your wound hasn’t healed yet, you can’t get it wet.”
The rain is heavy today, and with the wind blowing, the beaded rain blew under the umbrella along with the wind.
Jiang Yimian just smiled, “I came out to see if there’s anything I can do to help you.”
These past few days, Lu Cijian has basically been leaving early and returning late. She hasn’t had a good conversation with him. Knowing that he’s worried about the flood, she’s also extremely anxious and wants to help, but because of her injury, she’s being watched very closely.
She finally sneaked out today, so naturally she has to come and see.
He hadn’t seen her for several days. The Youth’s eyebrows and eyes were full of fatigue, and his handsome eyes were full of bloodshot. Some blue stubble had also appeared on his chin.
It was heartbreaking to look at.
She said helplessly, “I’m so smart, and you don’t even ask me to discuss the flood. What a waste.”
Lu Cijian was stunned, and the corners of his lips curved up unconsciously. “Yes, yes, yes, it’s my fault. What Guidance does Mianmian have? Please enlighten me.”
Jiang Yimian was satisfied now, and asked again, “Why did you think of re-planning the Riverbed?”
Lu Cijian stared at the Riverbank that had been washed away and said, “Qingnan has had its Riverbed repaired many times due to the three years of floods, but it was not adapted to local conditions and only built the Riverbed according to its own Concept.
The water flow will also have its own ideas.
Look, that section of the Riverbed is wide enough, right? But the Riverbank is still washed away, which proves that there is a Problem with the construction of the Riverbed.”
They need to build the Riverbed along with the water flow, otherwise, no matter how wide it is built, the Riverbank will be washed away.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and nodded, “Lord Lu is right, there is indeed a Problem with the construction of this Riverbed.”
Not to mention that it is too narrow, it is indeed not built along the direction of the water flow.
Zhao Jie looked over, following the Two People’s Line of Sight, and only saw a pile of washed-away rocks. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Will the Flood next year not be so serious if the Riverbed is rebuilt?
What if there is more rain next year? Then the Riverbed will still be filled. And those Villages, those places are not where the water flow will pass.”
He had no opportunity to participate in Disaster Relief before, but only heard his colleagues from the Ministry of Works mention that the Flood in Qingnan is very difficult to control, and simply widening the Riverbed is no longer feasible.
Now that he sees it, he realizes that this statement is too light. It is not only difficult to control, but also very tricky.
These past few days, he also went to see several Villages that were flooded. He thought that it was just the water level rising, which made the Houses uninhabitable.
But after actually understanding, he realized that it was not just the water level rising, the Villages’ Houses had already been completely washed away.
The water level has spread to half the height of a person.
This kind of Situation cannot be solved by simply widening the Riverbed.
Jiang Yimian said Seriously, “There is a Method to deal with this matter. Heavy rain is unavoidable. I think what can be changed is to discharge the water in time when the water level rises, so that the Common People will not suffer too much Loss.”
Lu Cijian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, “What good Method does Mianmian have?”
This time he came to Qingnan for Disaster Relief, he specifically looked at many Notes recorded by Adults who had previously managed the water, and almost turned them all over, but he couldn’t find a Method suitable for Qingnan.
As a result, before he left, the Censor specifically told him that Water Management is very difficult and that he should not force it.
But after coming here, looking at the flood-stricken Common People and those washed-away Houses and submerged farmland, he didn’t want to leave easily.
If They can’t solve the Flood, these Common People will definitely suffer every year.
Jiang Yimian thought for a while before saying, “Dig more Flood Discharge Reservoirs and build Dams. This can not only reduce the impact of the water flowing down from high places, but also detect Abnormal water levels in time and respond quickly.”
In places with a lot of rain, Flood Discharge Reservoirs and Dams are generally built to avoid Flood disasters.
The reason why the Flood in Qingnan has been so serious in recent years is that it lacks Flood Discharge Reservoirs.
If there could be more Reservoirs, Qingnan would not be what it is today.
In the past, when Qingnan was mentioned, most people would say that this place is rich, with beautiful scenery, and a rare good place.
But in recent years, only Floods are mentioned.
The Maiden held an oiled paper umbrella, standing in the wind and rain. Her thin figure seemed like she would be blown down by a gust of wind, but the words she spoke were particularly Serious and firm.
Lu Cijian’s eyes lit up instantly. He shifted his Line of Sight away from Jiang Yimian and onto the narrow Riverbed in front of him. After a long while, he suddenly said, “Are you saying that we can build water storage Ponds in advance? When we find that the upstream water flow increases Abnormally, we can open the floodgates to discharge the Flood and let the water flow into the wider Riverbed downstream through the Reservoir.
In this way, the rapid water flow can be prevented from directly pouring into the Village, causing serious consequences?”
Jiang Yimian nodded and secretly marveled at Lu Cijian’s comprehension. She was afraid that saying too much would arouse suspicion, but she didn’t expect Lu Cijian to understand immediately and instantly understand her meaning.
This Method can minimize the consequences caused by the Flood.
Although it cannot solve the Flood, it can at least clearly let everyone know that the water level is rising and respond in advance.
Lu Cijian reached out and hugged Jiang Yimian into his arms, his tone full of excitement and Seriousness, “It’s a pity that Mianmian has such talent and is not an official.”
Compared with Mianmian, those inactive ministers in the Imperial Court are simply good-for-nothings.
If Great Jin could have more talents like Mianmian, why worry that Great Jin would not be good.
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows and raised her head from the Youth’s arms, teasing with a smile, “That’s right. Lord Lu, are you considering letting me get a position in the Censorate?”
Lu Cijian curled the corners of his lips, “If Mianmian wants to enter the Censorate, Your Majesty will definitely be satisfied with the Water Management Method you proposed today.”
Jiang Yimian was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands, subconsciously saying, “I don’t want to enter the Censorate. It’s good enough to have one Family member in the Imperial Court.”
She prefers doing Business to earn Silver.
She really doesn’t want to get involved in the muddy waters of officialdom.
Lu Cijian was stunned when he heard this. He stared at Jiang Yimian for a while before smiling and saying, “Yes, Mianmian is right. It’s good to have one official in the Family. Mianmian can do whatever she wants.”
Jiang Yimian belatedly realized that what she had just said was a little wrong, and smiled helplessly.
She didn’t know when she subconsciously regarded Lu Cijian as Family.
It seems that she has long been used to him being by her side.
Her Line of Sight fell on the back that was walking away eagerly, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
These past two days, watching Lu Cijian thinking about how to manage the water day and night without sleeping, she was worried.
But Lu Cijian seemed to be fine and was busy all day long.
Fortunately, she had learned about some of the 【 measures for controlling Floods before. 【 Otherwise, the Flood in Qingnan would be really difficult to solve.
