Kneeling and Begging for a Guaranteed Monthly Ticket: Flooding in Ningzhou

Nansheng is the most unlucky country among the five countries in the world. First, Nansheng destroyed the country, Nanman slaughtered, and then various princes rose up and formed an alliance to attack the barbarians. It has gone through more than ten years of war. All states and counties are in a state of ruins, but from time to time there will be mobs and bandits.

Jiang Pengji was determined to take care of it, but it was a lengthy project, and it couldn't be solved in three or two days.

Everything needs to be down-to-earth, one step at a time.

After dealing with Huayuan's affairs, Jiang Pengji was not in a hurry to take people away from Ningzhou, because something stopped her.

"Ningzhou's flood is so severe?"

Jiang Pengji and his party temporarily lived in Ningzhou's state capital. The state capital here has not been repaired for many years, and it is not as good as the private houses of ordinary merchants.

Fortunately, the state capital is not a tofu dregs project, and it can still accommodate people after a little cleaning.

Jiang Pengji lived here for two days, and she remembered that the state capital should have files from previous years, which is also the best way to understand the situation in Ningzhou.

She asked people to sort out the files piled up in the state capital. As soon as they opened the warehouse, everyone was startled. There were piles of file files in a mess, with a thick layer of dust on them, and the rotten air inside was choking. angry. It took them two days to sort out the case files from the warehouse. Many of the case files were destroyed by moths, so they sorted them out and sorted them out, and then Jiang Pengji picked them up to look over.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

It contains not only unjust, wrongful and false cases that have accumulated for many years, but also a large part of flood records.

After seeing these Jiang Pengjis, I realized that floods would occur in Ningzhou every few years. It was good if the floods did not come, but when they came, the floods flooded the Jinshan Mountains, killing and injuring countless people, and the fertile fields and crops were hardly spared. Jiang Pengji asked Wei Ci and the others to find out the bamboo slips related to flood control, but found that there was no such record at all, and many contents were perfunctory.

"Zixiao, send someone to find out if there are any people who have lived in Ningzhou for a long time, and ask about the water conditions in each year."

Lu Zheng asked, "Flood control is not a short-term achievement, it will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, how long do you plan to spend here?"

Things must be prioritized. Floods do not occur every year, and treatment does not take one or two years to be effective.

Jiang Pengji wasted time by staying here, so she might as well do something else and completely control Nansheng in her own hands as soon as possible.

If the delay was too long, and Zhongzhao was relieved, she would have missed the best opportunity to recover Zhongzhao.

Lu Zheng still doesn't know what Qi Guanrang and Sun Wen did to Zhongzhao, the information is not equal, so his consideration is not correct.

If he knew that these two great gods were stirring up wind and rain in Zhongzhao, making the whole country uneasy, he probably wouldn't say this.

Jiang Pengji said, "Because flood control is so involved, I am even more worried about handing it over to people I don't know well, for fear that they won't do a good job. At least... I still have to understand the details, try to know what I know, and I won't be afraid to hand it over to others. The other party will lie and lie."

There will be no more wars in the short term, and Jiang Pengji will buy as much time as possible to restore the local people's livelihood so that the people can settle down.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

As long as the people return their hearts, she is not afraid of the people in the rear being incited to rebel when she is fighting on the front line.

Lu Zheng saw that Jiang Pengji had his own plans, out of trust in her, he stopped persuading her.

After two days of investigation and sorting out, Jiang Pengji basically found out the root cause of the flood in Ningzhou, and she was angry and laughed at the same time.

"Nansheng's destruction of the country is really self-inflicted. It cannot be entirely blamed on the four tribes of the Nanman. My roots are rotten."

If you want to die or die late, you will die. The four tribes of the Nanman sent Nansheng to die early.

The flood in Ningzhou is not caused by anything else. It is mainly due to the blockage of the river and the connivance of the government to occupy the riverbed near the flood discharge channel. When it comes to the rainy season, the rain is normal, but once it exceeds the normal amount, it is prone to flooding, so that the river backflows and submerges the crops...

Before the Nansheng Kingdom was destroyed, Ningzhou allocated a sum of money every year to control the water, and regularly sent people to divert the river. Although there were still cases of corruption and bribery, God gave me face, and there were occasional floods, but the scale was not large. Since Nansheng destroyed the country, all the counties and counties have endured the invasion of the Nanbarians while facing the occupation of the local tyrants. Naturally, no one will allocate money to clean up the river.

In the eyes of many shallow-sighted people, river management is like throwing money into the river. Just listen to it and make no money.

The consequences of doing so came quickly. In the past ten years of war, Ningzhou had two major floods and five minor floods. About tens of thousands of people died, and the value of crops lost over the years was nearly one million. According to the description of the villagers, the floods have become more serious in recent years.

This year's luck is good, there is not much rainfall in the rainy season, and there is no movement in the river, but next year will not be sure.

Jiang Pengji had someone take her to see the blocked rivers everywhere, and drew a rough picture when she came back.

"It's not realistic to directly control the main river. The time is too late, and the financial resources and manpower are not enough." Jiang Pengji said, "It's better to clean up these tributaries first, expand the river width, and share the pressure of the main river. Wait for the time to slow down, and then repair the main river. Do dredging."

Jiang Pengji circled a few more places, and said, "It's better to change these corners, cut the corners and straighten them, so that the flood discharge will be smoother."

Lu Zheng didn't have much opinion, "My lord, who is going to hand it over to?"

The original government agencies in Ningzhou have already collapsed. Before Jiang Pengji attacked, Ningzhou's internal affairs were controlled by the local gentry, and it almost became the local court. She cleaned up a wave, the moths were killed, but there was no one available...

Jiang Pengji thought for a while and said, "Didn't the recruitment order be issued a while ago, the first batch of recruiting has been issued, pick a few reliable ones from among them... By the way, the person named Mihua is good. I remember her answer sheet One of the questions was to simulate how to control the river, and her hypothetical suggestions are quite feasible, not just on paper. It can be seen that this person is also a practical man and is worthy of reuse."

Jiang Pengji never cares about the background and qualifications of the other party when she employs someone, but only looks at the other party's sense of responsibility and ability.

Although this employment system does not conform to this era, Jiang Pengji is the one who sets the rules. Only others obey her, and there is no reason for her to compromise. In a few words, Jiang Pengji decided to hand over the affairs of Ningzhou to Mihua, a fledgling newcomer.

"I wrote a letter to ask her to come and take up the post. When she comes, we will leave."

Although Mi Hua had confidence in herself, but when this letter of appointment was placed in front of her, she also had the illusion of dreaming.

Mr. Lan Ting's decision...wasn't it a slap in the face, made casually?
