Look at the mountains and rivers I have drawn

Chapter 718 Cleaning Up the River
"Come here, go and fetch me the fishing net." Ye Yan noticed that there seemed to be floating objects in the water.

After his subordinates brought the fishing net, Ye Yan rolled up his sleeves and bent down to fish in the river. Sure enough, he picked up some debris.

Ye Yan frowned for a moment. He didn't expect the river to be so dirty.

"Why is there so much rubbish here?" The subordinate next to him was also surprised.

The environment in Nanli has always been very good, and the air is very fresh. There shouldn't be such a problem.

The water problem should not be taken lightly. Ye Yan felt that the matter was a bit serious. Since even the water in his own house was affected, Nanli would not be much better.

"Ye Yan, I have something important to tell you." It was Chang Qing who spoke.

At this time, Changqing had just returned from Nanli City, and he was going to inspect the shop.

At first, I thought that everything in the shop was going according to plan, but I didn't expect that not only did it not go according to plan, but it didn't even start.

There is no loophole in the mage's work, and the cook he poached is not just one person.

He was extremely thoughtful, since he wanted to fight Ye Yan in the dark, everything had to be carefully planned.

This time, such a blatant thing as poaching the cook was done with great care.

The cook and his apprentice were taken away by the mage, and all the plans of Ye Yan's shop were disrupted for a while, and they could only temporarily stand still.

Seeing Changqing's serious face, Ye Yan guessed that there was probably something wrong with the shops outside.

"What's the matter?" Ye Yan put down the fishing net, looking displeased.

Changqing didn't know about the river water yet, so he thought Ye Yan had other worries.

"The opening of our new store has been delayed, and the chefs have all quit." Changqing was a little unhappy.

These things were planned so quickly that the agreement should have been signed with them then.

When Ye Yan heard that it was true that things were not going well with the shop, he hurriedly asked, "They all left? Because of what, where did they go?"

Changqing said helplessly: "I went to other shops on the street, there are all of them, and said that I don't want to work with their masters, and I have to develop on my own."

These reasons were told by the mage to the cook, and asked him to arrange the apprentices to work in other shops.

In this way, go everywhere, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Ye Yan shook his head: "Forget it, the matter of the store is not important, let's put it aside for now, there are more urgent things right now."

With the river incident in front of his eyes, Ye Yan had no other thoughts to think about the shop in detail.

Seeing Ye Yan's serious face, Chang Qing quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Look at the water over there." Ye Yan pointed to the side and said.

Changqing took advantage of the trend and walked over. When he saw the fishing net next to him, he naturally picked it up and fished it in the water.

Like Ye Yan, he picked up a bunch of messy things.

"What are these?" Chang Qing also frowned.

Changqing took a closer look at the water, and even took a closer look at the water.

"How is the water polluted like this?"

Ye Yan shook his head: "I don't know why, let's go and check with me."

After speaking, the subordinates immediately went to prepare the carriage, and Ye Yan and Chang Qing got up immediately.

Although Nanli's river meanders around, there are still traces of its source.

The two went to the source of the river first, and to their relief, the water at the end of the river was still normal.

All the way along the observation, the river water is no problem.

"Since there is no problem in the upper reaches, then it appears in the middle and lower reaches." Ye Yan said to himself, with some guesses in his heart.

On this day, Ye Yan put down everything he was doing and focused on investigating the river water pollution.

After checking the middle reaches, the environment in the water has changed.

Ye Yan looked around carefully and saw that several new ranches had recently been developed here.

"I think the problem lies in these few ranches." Changqing said, pointing to the distance.

The herdsmen raised a large number of cattle and sheep, which accidentally polluted the river.

Ye Yan was not in a hurry to deal with the ranch, but checked all the way, and found that the people's domestic water also had a big problem.

The self-purification ability of Nanli's river water is limited, so it has not yet reached the level where there is no need to be alert.

After a day of investigation, Ye Yan figured out the cause of the river pollution.

The pollution of this water did not happen overnight, it was only revealed after the accumulation until now.

After Ye Yan returned, he immediately drew up an announcement prohibiting all acts of throwing debris into the river.

For those who pollute the river, Ye Yan formulated a series of punishment measures.

The people didn't deliberately pollute the water. They didn't realize it until Ye Yan listed the wrong behaviors.

Ye Yan himself just realized that those who don't know are innocent, and the common people can forgive their mistakes, not to mention that he himself has neglected his duties.

Now that the problem has been discovered, Ye Yan also realizes that environmental protection should also be taken seriously and cannot be ignored.

Ye Yan did not let Changqing go home to rest, and took him to formulate a series of environmental protection measures.

After repeated checks and consideration of all factors and feasibility, it was finally released.

Right now, the people of Nanli already know where the problem lies.

Obviously Ye Yan's orders are strictly controlled, starting from themselves, life is their own.

The people strictly regulated their behavior, and the problem of river water pollution did not become more serious.

Life cannot be separated from water, and the most important thing right now is to clean up the river water.

Ye Yan sent people to distribute tools for salvaging dirty things to every household, and every household implemented them.

With the power of many people, Ye Yan led the people to clean up the river water. In just two days, the results were obvious.

"Brothers, don't say that after cleaning these things, the smell will disappear." The working people chatted while salvaging.

The strong man next to him answered, "Isn't that what it is? There are so many people, so everyone throws it away. That's why our river looks like this."

The woman who was making tea by the side also nodded and said: "That's right, you have to be careful in the future, the laws and regulations are all stipulated, and this kind of thing can't happen again."

"If we find out later, maybe our Nanli will be surrounded by stinky sewers. It's scary to think about it."

From one glance to another, everyone realizes how important the environment is to them.

"Hey, have you noticed that there is a lot of sediment in this river?" Someone asked in surprise.

"Don't say it, it's true, after taking out these dirty things, it will be exposed." The person next to him answered.

The common people looked at the sand that was fished out, and their inspiration suddenly appeared.

"I know that building a house with this thing is stronger than that stone and brick." Someone raised his mouth suddenly.

"That's right, the one in our village is a pigsty built with sand, but it's solid, and there's nothing wrong with floods in the past few years."

Everyone noticed the sand in the river, and there was a lot of sand, more than enough to build a house.

After some discussions, the villagers planned to use the sediment in the river to build some buildings.
