Do These People Intend To Rebel?
Zhao Jie was still stunned on the side. After a while, he exclaimed, “Jiang Girl, you are too amazing. You can come up with this method. It’s really exquisite.
Once the riverbed is re-planned later, there will be no need to worry about floods in Qingnan again.”
Even though he didn’t react at first, he understands it now.
The Ministry of Works has a lot of Water Management Expert’s Notes, which contain the efforts of several generations, but none of them have been very effective. Most of them are similar ideas such as strengthening dams and widening riverbeds.
But today, this is the first time he has heard of the method proposed by Jiang Yimian. If this method is recorded, I don’t know how many disaster-stricken areas will benefit.
Water Management is indeed more important to dredge than to block. Strengthening dams is certainly useful, but its effect is not great. Instead of doing so, it is better to directly let the water flow into the River along the riverbed.
This is the best Method.
Jiang Yimian just waved her hand, “This method was not invented by me, but I heard someone mention it a long time ago.”
This is the Result of the efforts of dozens of generations and has been verified for thousands of years, so it is naturally a good Method.
Zhao Jie’s eyes widened instantly, and he asked curiously, “Which Water Management Expert came up with this method? Did they leave any Notes?”
If they can obtain Water Management Notes, they can also gain more experience, which is a good thing for Great Jin.
Jiang Yimian just shook her head, “I only met That Person once, and I don’t know anything else.”
I don’t dare to casually attribute the Old Ancestors’ Methods to myself.
Zhao Jie said with great regret, “I don’t know who this Teacher is. They are really amazing. This method will definitely solve the Flood problems that have plagued thousands or even tens of thousands of Common People in Great Jin.”
It also solved the problem of Great Jin.
In addition to Qingnan, many places in Great Jin will have Floods, resulting in serious Loss every year. The Imperial Court has repeatedly provided Disaster Relief, and the Ministry of Works sends people to deal with it every year, but still to no avail.
Now that we have this Method, we will definitely be able to reduce the number of people who die from Floods and reduce the Loss.
Thinking about it, he only felt that the depression caused by the rain was dissipated a lot. It was still a Cloudy sky, but he felt that a few rays of light were shining through the gaps in the dark clouds.
He just smiled and said to everyone: “We have a Method for Water Management. Let’s work harder to dig the Ditches. When Lord Lu goes to conduct an on-site survey, it is estimated that it will be fine soon, and everyone can rest assured.”
The others who were digging Ditches to divert water, upon hearing this, also showed happy smiles on their faces.
These days, they have been digging drainage ditches day and night in order to lower the water level of the Riverbed, but it started to rain again today.
It made their relaxed mood tense again, but when they heard the conversation of several People, everyone felt relieved.
Many People cheered and said, “Everyone is saved, that’s great.”
Jiang Yimian looked at the faces that were hit by the rain and could not open their eyes, and her heart seemed to be healed.
It was obviously a mess, but everyone had smiles on their faces, which was joy from the bottom of their hearts.
Many of These People are Constables from the Yamen. When they heard that they were going to dig Ditches for the good of the Common People, they came to help without any hesitation.
They did not disobey Zhao Jie’s arrangements because of Zhou Shiwen’s Order. Instead, they took the initiative to come and help when they learned that they were going to dig Ditches.
These People are just Ordinary Common People. Perhaps because of Zhou Shiwen, they turn a blind eye to the Common People Outside the City, but they are all Common People after all, and they still feel uncomfortable.
Now that Zhou Shiwen is not here, they can truly be themselves.
While looking at the People in the Riverbed, Supervisor Zhang ran over from the City Gate in a hurry. He was soaked by the rain and looked as miserable as he could be.
Zhao Jie found it strange and joked, “Didn’t you go to persuade those villagers to go Down the Mountain? Why are you in such a state?”
This guy has always been one who would never let himself suffer. It’s a strange thing today that he would make himself look like this.
If it were in the past, this Person would definitely regret it while muttering and hurrying to change Clothes, “My body is precious, and I can’t get sick here.”
Supervisor Zhang rarely retorted Zhao Jie. He looked around and didn’t see Lu Cijian. He said anxiously, “Jiang Girl, go back to the Yamen quickly. That shameless Bastard Zhou Shiwen led the Garrison Troops to surround the Yamen.”
He had just returned to the Yamen from Baiyun Village. Before he could enter, he saw a team of Soldiers surrounding the Yamen, which scared him to run away and quickly report the news.
It is estimated that the Yamen is in chaos right now.
When Zhao Jie heard this, he said in disbelief, “Is Zhou Shiwen crazy? I’ll go take a look.”
Jiang Yimian quickly grabbed him, dropped a sentence, “Wait for Lu Cijian here.”
After saying that, she quickly walked towards the City Gate, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
She knew that Zhou Shiwen would attack them, but she didn’t expect that he would be so blatant and lead the Garrison Troops to surround the Yamen directly.
Are These People trying to commit Rebellion?
Before Jiang Yimian reached the Yamen, she saw rows of Garrison Troops standing outside from a distance, each holding a Spear, tightly surrounding the Yamen.
The nearby Streets were empty, and even the Teahouse and Wine Shop were closed.
Jiang Yimian walked directly towards the Yamen. When the Soldiers saw her, they instantly raised the Broadsword in their hands and surrounded her in the center.
She ignored the Soldiers and shouted towards the Yamen, “Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this? Detaining Imperial Court Officials without authorization is a serious crime.”
Zhou Shiwen chuckled and walked out of the Yamen, his wrinkled face full of triumph, “Jiang Girl, don’t easily accuse This Official. This Official received a message saying that someone in the Yamen was secretly hiding a Wanted Criminal and impersonating Imperial Court Officials. In order to prevent you real Adults from being harmed, This Official brought Soldiers to search.”
He said this with confidence and without any Guilty conscience.
Jiang Yimian said lightly, “Hiding a Wanted Criminal in the Yamen? Who does Lord Zhou suspect?”
Zhou Shiwen said seriously, “Jiang Girl, that’s not interesting. Since we are hiding a Wanted Criminal, everyone in the Yamen is likely to be the mastermind.
This Official is here to arrest People. Please don’t interfere with This Official’s work. Come on, take her down for This Official.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Soldiers grabbed Jiang Yimian.
Jiang Yimian just dodged, kicked the Two People, broke through the encirclement, stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Shiwen, holding a Dagger tightly against his neck, and said coldly: “Stop it all, if you don’t want Zhou Shiwen to die, put down your Weapon.”
The Soldiers looked at each other for a few moments. Although they did not put down their Weapon, they did not make any other moves.
Zhou Shiwen was so angry that he said angrily: “Jiang Yimian, are you crazy? This Official is an Imperial Court Official. You are coercing This Official like this, do you want to die? Why don’t you take down this Bitch for This Official?”
This group of useless rice buckets, so many People can still be coerced by this Bitch, it is really hateful.
