Chapter 226 Shaking his head to veto
On the second day, the county magistrate's mansion was surrounded by water and many people came with their own ideas, hoping to control the water to get a reward of up to 1,000 taels.
The county magistrate looked at the county magistrate's mansion and was eager to try so many things. He also felt that he had a solution to control the Yunhe River floods, and he invited all those who had the method to come in one by one.
In the end, they could only return in disappointment. The methods spoken by those talented literati were all clichés, nothing more than just some nonsense, all nonsense, such as clearing waterways, diversions, and the population downstream of the north shore. When they said how to implement them, they were stuttering and unable to explain the reason.
This made the county magistrate very desperate.
The county magistrate sent him away by himself, and then said to a seventh-rank official beside him: "Can you have some practical methods? The day is about to pass, and I have not heard any of the methods that can be implemented. Look at these piles of documents, are you happy to let me get out immediately, right?"
Those piles of documents were requests to deal with the flood by people suffering in the county or other people.
The county magistrate said again: "It is said that it is a letter of invitation, but what it takes is the life of my official."
The seventh-rank official also lowered his head and said timidly: "Sir, there are more than a dozen scholars waiting behind him. See if you want to listen to their opinions again."
The county magistrate shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm short of my official position. I'll write down their water control methods. Then you go to the study and I'll read it again in the evening."
"Yes, sir."
The county magistrate stood up and was about to leave, but asked again: "Have Liu Shi left secretly?"
The adult replied: "As far as the officials know, they have not left because of heavy rain, have they been told to see him?"
The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm just curious to ask. By the way, when I saw the officials below, I gave Yunhe drawings, repainted a few copies, and handed them over to those who had never seen the current situation of Yunhe and were eager to come up with advice and rewards."
"yes."
The county magistrate said again: "If you pass the order, if you are all people who want to get rewards but cannot give a specific plan, you will find that one stick will be beaten."
The seventh-rank official could only nod and dared not say anything. He knew that the county magistrate, who now attaches so much importance to managing floods, is related to the future of the county magistrate. Whether he can make some political achievements in the face of this flood is the key to whether the county magistrate can remain the fourth county magistrate.
After all, with the arrival of the new governor, it is time to find trouble for this county magistrate, and it will not last longer than long at the latest.
Therefore, this flood must be completely solved by the county magistrate, and this is why there is such a heavy reward.
Another day passed, and the fourth county magistrate was in a panic. He looked at the countless documents in front of the desk and looked at the people who were blocked by his mansion. He felt that his head was too big.
"It's been two days. I really haven't seen any good method. Are the talents in the county eating shit?" The county magistrate finally couldn't help but get angry.
The officials and soldiers below were not easy to happen, and they were all calm and avoid being affected by the fish in the pond.
The county magistrate pointed at the officers and soldiers in front of him and became angry: "You people, with their salaries, are all eating shit? There is no way. I told me that there is an officer and soldier who drowned today? Do you think the matter is not big enough? Do you think that the official has been a county magistrate for a long time?"
Several county officials bowed their heads and said in unison: "The officials dare not."
The seventh-rank official yesterday was pushed by several other officials, as if he wanted him to come out and say something.
The seventh-rank official also wanted to come out, but he didn't dare to come out all at once, for fear of offending the county magistrate.
The county magistrate saw the official's actions and said, "Tell me everything. Don't make me uncomfortable when I see it, otherwise let you try the feeling of being whipped in the heavy rain."
The heavy rain was still thundering, and a few thunders fell soon, which calmed down everything in the county.
The seventh-rank official walked out and said, "Sir, the rain has stopped in previous years, and then the government has dealt with aftermath. This year, we suddenly asked me to think of a solution. We have racked our brains and there is no way."
"Continue to talk." The county magistrate was indifferent.
The seventh-rank official took a deep breath and said, "The officers and soldiers in the county are used to being lazy and are really not very adaptable to this rhythm at once. Otherwise, we will wait for the rain to stop and make trouble?"
The county magistrate looked up at the other officials and said, "That's what you meant, right? Lord Wang, Lord Zhu, Lord Wei?"
The three officials bowed their heads and said, "The officials dare not, they just thought about how to relieve their worries."
The county magistrate snorted coldly: "If you lose your official hat one day, it will be clear if you can still be lazy. You four lords, I will give you a chance. Within three days, I will give me a way to block the breach and solve the problem on the North Bank."
The county magistrate changed his voice and said, "Otherwise, don't wear the official hat on your head."
The four adults were so scared that they knelt down and quickly shouted to spare their lives, but the county magistrate was indifferent.
At this time, a soldier ran in and said, "Sir, Liu Shi secretly asked for a meeting."
The county magistrate said: "No."
The officers and soldiers came out after getting the order. They had just walked dozens of steps and were called back again.
The county magistrate said, "What's the matter?"
The officer and soldier said: "I just came to see the county magistrate, but I never mentioned anything else. But when I saw Liu Caizi, I had a dispute with those literati outside the mansion, which seemed to be related to the theory of water control."
The county magistrate said, "So it turns out that the people outside the palace are called into the hall and the officials will meet together."
When the officers and soldiers got the order, they just wore straw raincoats and ran out of the mansion, and called everyone outside the mansion into the mansion.
The county magistrate said to the seventh-rank official again: "You ask someone to move the documents and other documents to the hall, and then hang the largest Yunhe drawing that has been recently painted in the hall. Today, the Japanese official wants to see what kind of monsters and monsters are all this."
Outside the county magistrate's mansion, a bunch of people holding umbrellas, sitting on a cute face, or wearing hats and straw raincoats, were in a state of nearly a hundred people, and they all had their own ways to fight against the wind and rain.
Liu Shinan is one of them, carrying a straw raincoat and holding an umbrella. The umbrella was the umbrella that Liu Shinan borrowed from Doctor Zhou, because Doctor Zhou did not go out for medical treatment today.
In the wind and rain, nearly a hundred people in front of the mansion were hiding under the eaves, and they all talked about their literary and military strategies.
Whenever Liu Shian heard someone talk about the method of water control, he would shook his head. At first, those people didn't care.
But Liu Shinan shook his head to everyone and expressed his objection, which made many people feel unhappy. They felt that they had received an insult, and the person who insulted them was just a young boy.
This made them very upset!
