Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

The first ten days are about to pass, and it should be the season of winter, but the sun that shines brightly every day makes people flustered.

Not to mention the insiders in the government, even the elderly people in the village have noticed that something is wrong. In the past November and December, where would there be such a basking sun, it still lasted for a long time.

Such an abnormal weather will either lead to a severe drought or a severe flood. Such rumors spread very quickly, and almost everyone in Xiaotian's entire Cang'er County was somewhat suspicious.

But before these skeptics could say anything more, the weather suddenly turned down this morning. The clear sky of the previous few days has already been covered with dark clouds, making the sky that should be clear and oppressively frightening.

However, this kind of weather reminded Tang Zisheng that the sky would change soon.

There are two kinds of flood and rain. One is light rain and then gradually turns into heavy rain. This kind of rain is like a soft knife. It doesn’t hurt when you look at it.

As for the other kind of rain, it is cloudy and cloudy from the beginning, and when it falls, there is no chance for people to escape.

Looking at the weather today, the flood and rain in Xizhou this time was the latter, but Tang Zisheng had already ordered it.

Once the weather changed, the people who were guarding the village immediately notified the village head to take people up the mountain. A thousand soldiers and horses would have already scattered around to find good shelters, and they would not be afraid of disrupting order when they went up.

Moreover, the dark cloud warned early this time, and the villagers have long been accustomed to go to the fields to work before dawn, and now they should all have the news before heading up the mountain.

"Are the people in the county government going to start dredging?" Zhou Nanchuan frowned, obviously not hoping that the prophecy at the beginning would come true.

"Well, people have already been sent." Tang Zisheng looked solemn. There were rumors of a catastrophe in Cang'er County before, and he secretly contributed to it, in order to better persuade these people to leave when the weather changed.

This is indeed the case. The weather changed this morning, and everyone in the village panicked. After hearing the village chief's notification of the county magistrate's arrangement, they all went home to pack their things and head to the mountain.

It's just that the food in this family is not easy to arrange. These villagers follow the principle of not revealing their money, and they don't have much money.But how much of their own food is well hidden.

This time I'm going up the mountain, should I bring all the food with me, or hide some of it at home, in case it doesn't rain too much?

But no matter how you think about it, as the sky gets darker and darker, and you have to light a torch to see the way ahead, the people going up the mountain form a stream and rush up the mountain in a hurry.

Some people are not willing to give up money, but they have to bring pots and pans together, which drags their heels. When people are still on the way up the mountain, the raindrops as big as beans fall one after another, which hurts their lives.

Xu Qingcheng had already made preparations and packed his things early. He also secretly wrote to Aunt Mo next door. When the two families heard the news, they took their things and walked up the mountain with their families.

However, Xu Qingcheng didn't hear Tang Zisheng's words about going into battle lightly. Relying on the strength of carrying firewood, besides clothes and food, he also carried two thick quilts.

Dad's health is so bad, although the cave can be a place to avoid danger, but it is not a place to stay for a long time, when the floods spread and he is trapped on the mountain, he must be fully prepared.

What's more, he has only studied under the old doctor for a few days, and he can't treat people at all. It is better to prevent it in advance than to treat people when he is sick.

There are a lot of people who think the same as Xu Qingcheng, and some people rely on their labor, big bags and small bags go up the mountain as if they don't need money, as if they want to empty the whole house.

But no matter whether they walked fast or slow, people from various villages all went to the prepared caves in the mountains after a long time after the heavy rain had passed because of their early organization.

A large fire had already been lit near the cave to dry clothes for the people who came up from the rain.

Compared with the villages, the evacuation in the county town was a bit slower, and there were about [-] people in a county.Although Tang Zisheng dispatched a lot of servants, it is not so easy to manage the large number of people.

However, many wealthy people in the county have good eyesight. The silver and many dead things that are not afraid of water and cannot be moved are properly placed in the underground warehouse. Even if the flood really washes Cang'er County, they will lose Nothing.

And I went into battle in plain clothes, and the first batch of people who left the county were a few wealthy people in Cang'er County.

"It's raining heavily. You and Haitang go to the mountains first to maintain order. There are too many people in the county town, and only the soldiers are afraid of making trouble." Tang Zisheng held an umbrella and draped it, but umbrellas are better than nothing in such weather.

The heavy rain that fell was like the progress bar being full at once, and it poured down, and many places in the county were filled with water. This kind of rain, not to mention a few days, even a few hours, the accumulated water is enough to choke .

"What about you, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to go up the mountain later."

"There is always one person to command. There should be only the last group of people in the county. You go first and I will come later."

Tang Zisheng has a bit of kung fu anyway, Zhou Nanchuan is a feeble scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and Hai Tang is a brother, it will not help to stay.

Anyway, they arrived early, and the people in the county should have left by the time.

Zhou Nanchuan is not a reckless man. He knows that staying now will only add to the chaos, so he might as well go up to appease the people and have some effect, "Then hurry up."

"Yeah." Now that he knows there is a flood, he can still play with himself, then he really has been in the sea since he was a child.

Zhou Nanchuan took the people away, and Tang Zisheng waited for the last group of people to come over at the gate of the city.

Rich people always run a little faster for their lives, and those who stay behind are all beggars who live in Cang'er County without a fixed place.

Although people in the whole county are evacuating, those who live in no fixed place are always the last to hear the news, even if they run without anything, they are no better than others.

"My lord, the last group of people are here, and there is no one in the city." Catcher Zhao wiped the water off his face, followed by some children and old people, big and small, all of which are broken houses in the city Found it there.

Tang Zisheng also had some coir raincoats and umbrellas prepared beside him, and Cheng Shu and Cheng Shi gave them to them, "Let's go."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but no one dared to say that they were waiting for the rain to calm down.Because no one knows when the rain will subside. If the rain does not wait but the flood from the upstream comes, it will not even save lives.

Fortunately, Tang Zisheng has been busy so far after receiving the news, it is still useful. The road up the mountain has been cleaned up, and many places are paved with stone slabs. It is safe to walk with care even in such heavy rain.

By the time Tang Zisheng and his party went up the mountain, the order had been maintained, and the soldiers in the garrison specially cooked a pot of ginger soup to relieve the cold for those who went up the mountain in the rain.

"Zhao Butou, take them to the fire to roast their clothes, and get a bowl of ginger soup, don't catch the wind and cold." Tang Zisheng took off his coir raincoat, stood under the stone wall and ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

"Don't patronize them, go and change into dry clothes yourself. Otherwise, you will fall ill and things will be troublesome."

Zhou Nanchuan had wet hair, and Haitang brought a bowl of ginger soup over to signal Tang Zisheng to drink it first.

"Thank you." Tang Zisheng took the bowl and swallowed it with restraint before returning to Zhou Nanchuan's words, "I exercise every day anyway, and if nothing else, a rainstorm won't make me unable to get up , but Brother Zhou, I’m afraid you’re dead.”

Without waiting for Zhou Nanchuan to refute, Haitang first smiled, "Master Tang is still able to joke around in such a situation, he is really optimistic and understanding."

"He's not joking, he's obviously saying that I'm poor in physical fitness, mocking me." Zhou Nanchuan said coolly, then pointed to the crowd that was about to move, and reminded, "But if you don't go, you can go later." I can't go away."

"Okay, I'll trouble Brother Zhou to watch over here." Of course Tang Zisheng wouldn't force himself, he opened his umbrella and walked to the wooden house outside the cave.

There are a lot of people in the county, unlike a village with a maximum of hundreds of people, and there is no place for so many resettlement for a while, so Tang Zisheng asked the Ministry of Industry to build some simple wooden houses nearby, with the help of carpenters from Shitou Village. , such a house is still no problem to survive the rainy days, after all, it only needs a place to stay.

After changing clothes and coming out, Tang Zisheng saw the old doctor guarding the entrance of the cave at a glance, obviously waiting on purpose.

"Your Excellency asked me about the prescription to cure the epidemic, but is it related to this matter?" The old doctor reacted quickly, and at this time he had already figured out the twists and turns. Master Tang was not lying that day, he really wanted the prescription to prevent disease.But who knew Master Tang was hiding something as big as the flood.

"Since Dr. Xu guessed it, why bother to ask?"

"Of course you have to ask about how long the rain will last. Although my lord has prepared well here, it is not a place to live for a long time. People with weak bodies must not be able to withstand such weather. I am a doctor. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Dr. Xu thinks that he has lived most of his life, so he has seen a lot.But I didn't expect that such a big event would happen to a person at the age of knowing the destiny. After all, he is a doctor, and he still has some skills in curing diseases and saving people in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Of course, he must do his best.

Tang Zisheng shook his head, "Doctor Xu thinks highly of me, knowing that there might be a flood is the news from the imperial city, even Qin Tianjian, who is the most skilled sky watcher, doesn't know whether the flood will come, so what can I do?" Can you know how long the flood will last?"

Dr. Xu frowned, "Isn't it raining non-stop, we have to be trapped on the mountain all the time?"

"Ah."

-

"Brother Xu, go tell those soldiers, come back with us, the animals are still at home in the rush to go up the mountain, if we don't care about them, they won't be washed away if there is a flood." Someone came over to make friends with Xu Qingcheng, seeing how long it had not been raining, and wanted to go back again.

"If my aunt wants to go back, she can go back by herself. These military masters only care about what we eat and drink here, and don't restrict us from going back to the village." Xu Qingcheng responded with a smile, and they would not stop the villagers from going down the mountain.

"Brother Xu, you know that my aunt's family has no other labor force except for one brother. That livestock is our way of life. You are the future husband of the county magistrate. Those soldiers will definitely listen to you and let a few people go with aunt. Come on, it won't take too much effort." The woman who spoke had red eyes, presumably she must be in trouble.

But Xu Qingcheng still shook his head, not softening his heart, "Auntie, if you take the lead, other people will definitely ask these soldiers to go back to get things. Our village is next to the river, and it's raining so hard now that we can't keep everything safe." Whenever the river floods, don’t even say that the lives of the livestock will be lost.”

"Can"

"But what's the matter, didn't you hear Xu Ge'er putting on airs for us here? The fiancé Ling who became the county magistrate is different, but he is still trapped with us now, which shows that the county magistrate doesn't care about him. Since you don’t want to do us this favor, let’s go back by ourselves.”

"The Zhang family, if your mouth is not clean every day, God just rains and washes it for you. If Mr. Tang did not prepare such a place for us, I think you still have a chance to speak here safely." Aunt Mo said bluntly. This old man gets used to talking every day.

Did the talking brother know that they still had to rely on the county magistrate, so he gave him a hard look and left.

"Don't take their sharp-tongued words to heart. Who can say something like a flood? Boy Tang will definitely be busy with the people in Angu County. They will come to pick you up when the rain stops." Mo Mo Auntie was afraid that Qingcheng would think too much, so she spoke words of relief.

"I know, Aunt Mo." Xu Qingcheng was not angry at all. He stayed in Baihe Village because he and Zisheng had discussed it together.

There is Zisheng in the county watching, but the villages, big and small, still need people to take care of them. The cave in Baihe Village is not far from the caves in the surrounding villages. If something happens, the villagers there will be in charge The centurion would also come to ask what he meant.

So if it is really trapped on the mountain, there will not be a group of dragons without a leader here.
