Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Fatal Disadvantages
Under such words, the people who wanted to get up and leave the hall and leave the county magistrate's mansion had no other move except Liu Shian.
Liu Shi said with a smile on his face, then returned to his seat, muttering something in his heart.
"Although I knew that this county magistrate would definitely not leave any effort in this flood disaster in order to maintain his official position, I didn't expect this adult to change.
So fast and now his mind is flexible. If this continues, it will be a blessing for the people of the fourth county. I hope this state can be extended."
The county magistrate had no expression on his face. He was originally a man of ambition, but the excessive debauchery of drinking and having fun in the officialdom made the ambition of this adult begin to fade, and the adult's desire for the people also began to fade. He began to have many intentions of corruption and abuse of power in his heart, which also made the people of the fourth county complain more and more.
When his official position is about to be lost, this adult suddenly wakes up and hopes to do something for these people in the fourth county to protect the investigation of the upcoming new governor.
The county magistrate looked at everyone, looked at Liu Shian again, then looked at the old Mr. Su Qin and said, "Senior Su, I wonder if you just said you wanted to argue with Liu Caizi, what's going on? Why don't you tell me to tell me."
Su Qin listened to the words of the county magistrate, and also stood up and said, "Sir, just outside the mansion, I talked about how to control water. It said that the matter of expanding the waterway was somewhat different from Mr. Liu. Just when I was about to talk about it, the lord summoned us all here."
The county magistrate looked at the chair behind his back, then looked up slightly, and said, "Oh, there is such a thing. It seems that the officials disturbed your argument?"
Su Qin replied: "I dare not, just talking to each other is not a big deal."
The county magistrate looked at Liu Shian. The young man seemed to be not listening to these words in the corner, but lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, perhaps looking at the water droplets on the floor of the hall.
The county magistrate took the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I am very interested in your argument. You will continue to finish those things, and let's talk about other people's ways of controlling water."
Liu Shi stood up secretly and said, "Reporting to the county magistrate, there is nothing to say. I will end the debate between Mr. Su Qin and me and Mr. Su Qin."
Su Qin had many thoughts on her face, but she was all overwhelmed by the wrinkles on her face.
Everyone also looked at Liu Shian. This young man looked careless from beginning to end, and seemed to not pay much attention to the words of the county magistrate, and they all looked a little contemptuous.
Many people can already see that the county magistrate seems to not want to give this young man good fruit. They have a lot of expectations in their hearts, looking forward to the scene where the young man angers the county magistrate and then be beaten ruthlessly on the long bench. Such a scene is too pleasing to them, so they are very happy to think of it.
Most of the resentment of these people comes from Liu Shinan's contempt for their water control methods, and they are very happy to see such a talented young man who was famous very early.
This may be the sick side of the people in the national dynasty, but it is very real and very specific, exposing that people in the national dynasty have such pathological ideas.
A forty-year-old scholar stood up, his figure and appearance were all in a normal manner, but his words were a little cheesy, and he said, "Sir, this Liu Shinan spoke rudely all day long and was disrespectful to the county magistrate. I hope that he would be strict with this person and serve as a warning to others."
He stood up again, looking at the clothes that were a wealthy man in the county, and he was also in his early thirties. He should know the person who was speaking in front of him. He spoke very slowly and said, "Sir, Liu Shian is indeed disrespectful to him. Please do not tolerate the evildoer."
Several people stood up in succession, named Liu Shi, and then were punished by the pole.
Liu Shi was confused and didn't know what he had done wrong, so he was attacked by everyone, and he said something that he was disrespectful to the county magistrate.
I do feel disrespectful to the county magistrate, but that was a matter of many days ago. Now it is not the time to bring up old accounts. Moreover, my words just now are not just that I can express the shortcomings of Su Qin's expansion of the river channel at once, and it will not waste much time.
How did you offend this county magistrate?
"A bunch of bad guys! Hey, it seems that it's too good, and it's not a good thing. Let's talk about the water control method as soon as possible and sneak away."
After Liu Shi made up his mind, he stood up and said, "It's not that he is disrespectful to the adults, but he just doesn't want to waste too much time. After all, there are many literati and young masters here, and there are many methods to control water. Although there are many methods that are not suitable for water treatment, it still needs to be considered by the adults."
The county magistrate put down the teacup and said, "Don't be slick, either. I will remember your disrespect to me. I will not care about it now."
The county magistrate said to the people who stood up to ask for explanation: "Sit down, I will think about today's affairs."
"Yes, sir." The people who criticized Liu Shihan's guilt all sat down, and their eyes were sharp when they looked at Liu Shihan.
Liu Shi looked at these people secretly and said in his heart: "You are really tigers but not powerful. You think I am a sick cat. It seems that you don't know what the consequences of Tai Sui's head is. Alas, today we will start a massacre again. I don't want you to suffer, but you just want to provoke me, so I can't blame me."
The county magistrate said again: "I have also seen the method of water control by Senior Su Qin. I have told me in my early years, but I have not paid attention to it at that time. However, today I think that Mr. Su Qin has been thinking about it for so long, which is worthy. However, I am not very obedient and cannot see any shortcomings. Can Mr. Liu say a word?"
"Sir, thank you."
Su Qin wanted to stand up on the chair again, but was stopped by the county magistrate and said, "No need to be too polite. Today, everyone is here for the floods in the county. Many red tape can save money. Don't always polite and polite, it's a lot of trouble."
Liu Shi stood up secretly and said, "Sir, I didn't have time to think about the method of expanding waterways for senior Su Qin. But outside the mansion, I heard the fatal disadvantage of the old man's method, that is, the construction of the river is very time-consuming and laborious. After expansion, the two ends are narrow and the middle is wide, which will cause the water in the upper reaches to rise when it flows downstream. This is a good thing for the upper and middle reaches, but a bad thing for the downstream."
As soon as his words came out, the whole room was looking at the map of Yunhe River, estimating whether Liu Shian's words were correct.
