However, being an official is not easy. Not only do you have to deal with various professional affairs, you also have to deal with relevant departments, write various summary reports, submit and approve them... In short, the water here is deep, and it has nothing to do with the common people. Their superficial cognitions are very different.
Zheng Quchi patted Qian County Magistrate's skinny shoulder: "Qian County Magistrate, you have left the green hills there, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. If you overwork yourself and fall down, wouldn't it delay things? Last night, Captain Wu also successfully rescued the trapped people. I've been rescued, and there's nothing urgent to do now. I suggest you go back and relax for an hour or two, and wait for me to come back to discuss something with you."
Magistrate Qian finally followed her advice, because even though his mind wanted to hold on for a while, the sleepy man wouldn't let him, and his body still had to lie down.
Zheng Quchi asked Shanghua Linyuan to go out on patrol with the people from Nanlinyuan. Since the water supervisor and the Duhe River Patrol Officer had not arrived yet, she was anxious, so she planned to take people up to have a look at it first. , the current situation in the midstream.
Since the rain has stopped, the rising water has gradually subsided, but the specific extent of the rising water is not clear. However, when climbing up and looking into the distance, one can see an obvious soaked dark color on the mountain wall.
"That one is the Jingjiang River, where heavy rains over the past few days have seriously burst its banks." Someone lamented.
Zheng Quchi observed as he walked: "Jiang Yuan, take a pen and record the key points."
It was the first time Jiang Yuan participated in such a working model, and he immediately said with great enthusiasm: "Yes."
"After the flood ebbs, the water supervisor is immediately urged to build a Shui Ze monument. The Shui Ze monument is divided into a "Left Shui Ze monument" and a "Right Shui Ze monument." The left Shui Ze monument records the highest water level in the past, and the right Shui Ze monument records a year. The highest water level in each day and month can be clearly understood at a glance.”
This method is feasible.
Everyone nodded, and Jiang Yuan also quickly wrote down: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, all my subordinates will remember it."
Zheng Quchi and the others walked all the way up the mountain and came to the west, facing the rushing river waves like a yellow dragon. The water had no buffer and rushed down with an astonishing momentum.
"As far as I know, spring is one of the most frequent periods for floods every year. During the entire flood season, state officials and river officials must stick to their posts and report floods at any time, but why has no one reported this to the court?"
Zheng Quchi went to find out about it when she came. The water conservancy officials all claimed that the incident happened quickly and violently, and they were not given any time to react. Maybe this was an excuse, but she did not see anyone from the bank responsible. Officials from the state government and river channels have not come to inspect the situation.
Someone from Hualin Garden said: "I have also heard this. It is said that it is related to river affairs during the interrogation period. Everyone is shirk-passing and no longer wants to be the responsible river embankment envoy. Many river embankment envoys have been killed in the past, but No one would dare to kill someone if something goes wrong, and County Magistrate Qian probably won’t have much to gain from this time.”
Zheng Quchi understood that the people above clearly did not do anything on their own and would kill several officials to solve the problem as soon as trouble broke out.
She took a deep breath and said angrily: "This is not the responsibility of one person, but a responsibility shared by all parties. Remember, officials from states and counties along the river must take turns to defend, participate in and direct river affairs during flood season, Report water conditions and dangers at any time."
She has intervened in this matter. She must not be able to solve the problem so simply and crudely. It is better to solve the problem than to pursue it. They are handling it like they do. Even if they dare to interfere with this mess, they will avoid it. As a result, the disaster has been delayed. Caused heavy losses and casualties.
Jiang Yuan lowered his head and quickly started writing again.
"People from Nanlin Garden come here." Zheng Quchi frowned.
The people in Nanlin Garden were almost out of breath due to the low air pressure on Zheng Quchi's body. They didn't dare to delay when they heard her call, so they hurried forward.
"How did you decide on the construction location of Canngling Weir in the first place?" She asked a question that made people feel numb all over.
Everyone in Nanlin Garden pushed me and I pushed you, but in the end one person saw Zheng Quchi’s face getting darker and darker, and then he walked forward with a sad face and said: "That's it... At that time, we and the water conservancy officer of the Water Supervision Bureau, the river channel The officials discussed it together..."
Balabala, in short, he talked a lot. The key point and summary is that they determined the position based on other people's reports and research. These people gave the data and requirements, and the people of Nanlin Park came up with the technology and plans.
So Canngling Dayan was designed using such imprecise means and methods?
No wonder she looked at it and always felt that its structure had major flaws.
A weir is a hydraulic structure used to control river water levels. Its design should take into account water flow, water level control, structure, etc. However, after a personal on-site inspection, she found that this was far from achieving the purpose of water control. They Thinking of everything is too simple and naive.
"Look, you can see with your own eyes now. If it was just to meet the irrigation water and drainage requirements, it might be possible, but now it is obviously not possible. Just building a Canngling Weir is not enough to solve the problem of flooding."
The people in Nanlinyuan have also seen the terrifying power caused by the real Cangling flood, and of course they also understand how ridiculous what they designed is.
They bowed their heads as Zheng Quchi scolded them and remained silent.
Zheng Quchi already had a certain premonition in his mind that the future water control project may not be solved in one or two years. This will be a long-term major project.
"Okay, let's go back first and wait for the water supervisor, canal officer, water conservancy officer and others to arrive. Let's discuss countermeasures together," she said.
They left the camp at dawn in the morning, and it was already afternoon when they came back. When they returned to the refuge camp, Zheng Quchi saw a scene of great excitement.
I don’t know where County Magistrate Qian brought so many tools. The young, middle-aged and strong men took off their shirts to build sheds, saw and polish wood. The teams carrying wood shouted encouraging slogans, and there were also women. They came forward to hand out water to wipe sweat, children moved stools and gave small items... Everyone was trying their best to do something they could do.
"This...why does it seem different from what we saw yesterday?" Liang Tian asked in surprise.
The lifeless refugee camp now seems to have become a vibrant new village, and everyone is enthusiastically working hard to build a beautiful home.
"That's nice, isn't it?"
Zheng Quchi saw a newly erected bulletin board in front of the refuge camp. A large panel posted the latest information released by the refuge camp. She wanted to know what policies Qian County Magistrate had issued, so she walked over and took a look. .
As soon as she approached, she saw Hua Duo, who had been standing in front of the bulletin board for a while, with a strange expression. He coughed lightly as if he was holding back a laugh: "Mr. Zheng, this, it seems you are written on it?"
Zheng Quchi didn't know why: "Write about me? What to write about..."
Hua Duo immediately read out with great emotion: "My Canngling's reborn parents, Mrs. Zheng... (here are a hundred words describing her achievements) to help my loneliness, to help our county's emergencies, to learn from each other's benefits, and to work together." How can we forget the friendship! The words are too thin to explain, but the five thoughts are inscribed... (A few words of praise are omitted here)."
"Okay, okay, no need to read it. Is this written by County Magistrate Qian?" Zheng Quchi felt that his face must be getting hot.
She stepped forward and just tore it apart and rubbed it on her hands. She didn't expect that he would write such a thank you letter and post it on the bulletin board. The content was so straightforward, praising and flattering at the same time, for fear that people would not know her. They did some good deeds. Although this was a sign of goodwill to her, the problem was——
She doesn't need it.
Why are the reborn parents using such bold and exaggerated words? Could County Magistrate Qian be more reserved?
"Master Zheng, it's Master Zheng."
After some publicity by Qian County Magistrate, Zheng Quchi became famous, at least in the refugee camp.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Zheng is here to worry about their food inconvenience, solve their housing and living inconveniences, care about their lives and psychology, and work hard to help them rebuild and control floods in the disaster area in the future. She He is simply a great official!
"Master Zheng, what do you think of the house we built?"
"Yes, this morning we, thirteen carpenters, more than twenty stonemasons and seven plasterers, studied the drawings of the evacuation camp drawn by Mr. Zheng. Even stupid people like us can understand it. It shows that you have spent a lot of money. It’s just that we, the country carpenters, have never built anything good, so there are some things I would like to ask you..."
Zheng Quchi was surrounded by more than a dozen enthusiastic people. Fortunately, her subordinates never left her and quickly blocked a distance to prevent them from getting too close.
Although the county magistrate Qian knew that Zheng Quchi was a woman, obviously these people did not know, so there was no taboo between men and women.
"Don't worry, everyone. I can't answer so many of your questions with just one mouthful. Let's do this. The adults around me are all experts in this field. You can also ask them, and they will definitely be happy to teach you, right?"
She turned back and glanced at the people in Hualin Garden and Nanlin Garden.
Under her gaze, how could they dare to refuse? They nodded repeatedly: "That's right, if you have anything you don't understand, just ask."
"Then, sir, I'm looking at this..."
"My lord, look at what I wrote above, like this..."
The people were finally dispersed. Zheng Quchi looked pleased. She adhered to the principle of temporary residence in the construction of the camp, so she considered it to be convenient, complete and geographically distinct. However, in order to improve the living conditions and prevent the occurrence of epidemics, many additions were made. Sanitation and excretion devices, as a result, the entire construction project is expected to take anywhere from ten days to half a month.
She was busy with her affairs and probably didn't have much time to stay at the construction site, but she still needed a supervisor to be there during this period, so she deliberately kept Liang Tian, who was responsible and prudent.
At noon, disaster relief supplies began to arrive one after another. However, since the warehouse was not yet ready, some rooms could only be temporarily vacated to house the supplies before they could be distributed and distributed. At the same time, dozens of well-dressed imperial doctors accompanied them. .
As soon as they got off the carriage, they received a warm reception from Magistrate Qian. After some polite greetings, they got to the point. When Magistrate Qian was full of expectations and was about to take people to see the injured patients, each of the imperial doctors took a Joe gets up.
"County Magistrate Qian, we have been bumpy and tired along the way, and we haven't even had a drink of water, so you hurriedly yelled at me to treat the injured. This is too unkind." An old doctor said coldly.
Qian County Magistrate was at a loss for words: "This..."
"We haven't eaten a grain of rice for several hours. You'd better bring us some food first." Another imperial doctor waved his hand.
The other imperial doctors also looked distracted, and they were all out of shape: "By the way, where can I rest? My old arms and legs have to rest first..."
Qian County Magistrate glanced at them, the imperial doctors who seemed to be on vacation, gritted his teeth and held back his anger. Knowing that he could not offend them, he could only force out a smile: "Female doctors, I don't want to rush you, but I just want to urge you." Previously, we had insufficient doctors and improper emergency treatment, and many of the injured patients' bodies were ulcerated. If they were not treated, their lives might not be saved."
Seeing that he was so ignorant, some people immediately turned their faces and said angrily: "They are just a bunch of untouchables. If you can't save yourself, you can't save -"
Magistrate Qian was furious and his face turned red with anger. Just when he was about to argue, a clear and clear voice sounded.
"Which imperial doctor could be so devoid of medical ethics and benevolent and say such ridiculous things? It really made Zheng gain some knowledge."
When a group of imperial doctors heard this, they looked to the side with ferocious expressions of disdain to be offended, but they saw Zheng Quchi, who was wearing the general uniform of a general serving as a prisoner, walking over with a group of subordinates.
Immediately, the expressions of the imperial doctors changed instantly.
Although the blood in the Yixiu Palace area was cleaned by the palace people, the imperial doctors were responsible for verifying the identities of the tragic death criminals who were dragged out one by one, and gave them death certificates before proceeding. hair convergence.
Although they were not involved in what happened that night, they knew exactly what happened in the palace - Mrs. Yuwen Zheng, who led a large number of troops to break into the palace, was unable to stop her. She showed everyone her unparalleled power and even forced her way in. The palace was fearless and was able to escape unscathed in the end. Think about it, even the prince tolerated her again and again, listened to her and allowed her to interfere in important political affairs.
She was a being they didn't dare to offend, she was also the one who saved the entire court from falling into a bloody storm, and was the one who gave them a chance despite the overthrow of the nest.
"Master Zheng."
They all bowed down and saluted in unison. Their respectful attitudes and neat movements came from their hearts without any trace of pretense.
Zheng Quchi didn't say a word. After approaching, he just stared at them indifferently.
A chill ran down their spines, and they knew in their hearts that she must be unhappy. Therefore, everyone turned their heads and angrily scolded the person who spoke such arrogant words.
"How despicable this person is to say such unethical remarks. We just want to keep our spirits up and try our best to help. How could you have such a dirty mind?"
"Yes, he is simply a black sheep. Mr. Zheng, we have unanimously decided to expel him from the Taiyuan Hospital. We will not let such people stay in our innocent land."
"Yes, he is simply not worthy of being with us! Hateful, shameful, and irritating!"
Without waiting for Zheng Quchi to criticize, they had already turned the gun and decisively expelled the harmful elements inside.
The corner of Zheng Quchi's mouth twitched: "..." Unexpectedly, you are such a group of imperial doctors!
The man became the target of public criticism. He was so frightened that his legs weakened and he knelt down crying. He completely lost his arrogance and domineering attitude just now: "I, I was just speaking out loud for a moment. In fact, what I meant was that if I can't keep it, I'll take the small one." I will use my head to make up for it, I, I was wrong, Mr. Zheng, please be patient, I will change my mind and treat patients with all my heart."
As a big old man, let’s not cry till we have snot and tears.
County Magistrate Qian never imagined that Mr. Zheng would suppress this group of "demons and ghosts" with just one sentence. He was so impressed that he could not wait to write more than a dozen letters of praise and thanks in one breath. On the bulletin board, he let everyone know his excited heart and trembling hands at this moment.
He really wants to sing now: Thank God, Thank Earth, Thank the imperial court for sending such a treasured and good official as Mr. Zheng to their Cangling County to save the suffering!
They scrambled to explain "self-extending civil strife", which made Zheng Quchi choke on what he was about to say. He could only say: "It's good if you think so. Saving people is like putting out fire and water. I know that you are tired from the journey. but……"
Considering the shortage of doctors, it is better to have one more than one less. Now is not the time to worry about these things. Let's put things in order later.
"Not tired or not, we'll go right away!"
"That's right, we're not tired at all. Magistrate Qian, why are you still standing there? Why don't you lead the way!"
"Hurry up, we are not as tired as Mr. Zheng. You are the one who saves people from fire and water. But since Mr. Zheng has said so, we will definitely do our best to save the people affected by the disaster in Canling County. There will never be any Neglect."
Listen, listen.
The mouths of each one seemed to have been greased, and the acrimony of the previous quarter of an hour was completely gone.
A strong sense of danger suddenly arose in Qian County Magistrate's heart. Look at these people. All of them have practiced their flattery skills to perfection. If his golden thighs are not held tighter, he might be killed. Grabbed it.
——
This time the water rose lasted for a long time, and the water receded slowly. It took several days to reach below the safety warning line. As for the upper reaches of the Jing River, it may take longer.
The county soldiers and Lieutenant Wu of Canling County have been trying their best to investigate people and organize people to dig out the blocked silt sections. However, Zheng Quchi does not recommend that anyone return to the city for the time being to prevent dangers such as collapse of damaged buildings and ground subsidence.
County Magistrate Qian also believes that it is necessary to establish a militia to carry out repair and reconstruction work after confirming that there is no danger. This matter should not be rushed and safety should be the priority.
Of course, Zheng Quchi did not need to worry about these trivial matters. After meeting with the water conservancy officials such as the water supervisor and river canal officer who had arrived belatedly, she also obtained first-hand information from them about the floods in Canling County. I have a deeper understanding of the problem that has been difficult to treat and has not been treated for many years.
But this matter obviously cannot be solved in a short while. It is obviously a very complicated and long-term "chronic disease".
She had been in Canngling County for almost half a month. After being urged several times by the court, it was time to go back and report back to Sikong. Only with permission could she handle the matter with full authority.
Her current mission is only to investigate and assist the water conservancy officials to understand the situation, and to come up with a water control plan through reasonable negotiation afterwards. But it was obvious that she had underestimated the situation in Canling County before. Now that they have taken over, she should go back and formulate a good plan for water control. plan.
But it definitely can no longer be left to Nan Linyuan to carry out alone. Even if it offends someone, she has to take back the initiative. (End of chapter)
