Chapter 278 Confidence is paramount in disasters(1/2)
Li Qian was originally a doctor of the Ministry of Water under the Ministry of Industry, but now he is a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry.
He was good at water affairs and was very familiar with other affairs of the Ministry of Works. When all the temples in the Kaiyang River collapsed, the emperor thought that there might be a flood in the canal, so the official sent out to investigate was also Li Qian, a doctor in the Ministry of Water Resources at that time.

This time there was a flood in Lingdong, and the elderly assistant prime minister personally took charge of the rear area, while Li Qian went to the disaster area with the emperor's golden order and the emperor's sword. While he was anxious, he also had great ambitions.
Of course, great ambitions are great ambitions, and Li Qian was well prepared. Not only did he bring a lot of food, he also sent people to quickly go to Changfeng Mansion and invited a great master to come over.
But when the imperial envoy's team entered the disaster area, Li Qian's little sense of complacency began to fade away, and his mood became heavier and heavier.
The same heavy mood was felt by everyone in the team, including Chu Qinglin, who was invited from Changfeng Mansion, and Chu Hang who came with him.
Even before the worst of the disaster had reached the place, the country was already devastated. Wherever the imperial team passed, even some local officials were not fully organized.
When they arrived in Dengzhou, everyone’s hearts sank to the bottom.
Dengzhou City was still soaked in water, and local officials in Dengzhou welcomed the imperial envoys from a higher mountainous area outside the city.
When he saw the imperial envoys coming not only with officials on horses and arrogant angels, but also with carriages and horses carrying food, Yu Ruiliang, the general magistrate of Dengzhou who had been supporting him for so long, almost burst into tears.
The door was pushed open, and the person who stepped back was Chu Hang, the imperial envoy.
Those eight tricks may seem complicated, but in fact, as long as they are implemented in place, the effect will be immediate. What is really difficult is the management of such a disaster.
At that time, my father's snoring gradually disappeared, but Li Qian among you was still asleep. When he closed his eyes, he thought of this broken statue, which made my body feel goosebumps again.
While everyone was cheering, the water level where they were standing was also rising and falling, and gradually they could no longer see the original farmland at their feet through the clear water.
The seventh is fundraising: Recruiting a small amount of labor, providing work for relief, ensuring that the laborers are well fed and can bring back rice and noodles as reward.
But when he thought about the disasters he saw during that time and the corpses he saw, Li Qian became depressed again.
"What kind of villain are you? Now you can barely be considered a craftsman at the Ministry of Industry!"
Yuan Qing patted Li Qian on the shoulder.
Chu Hang is not an official of the Ministry of Industry, and he is the one who knows the most about water affairs. I can simply stay in the official residence with peace of mind, so I am rarely present in various surveying, mapping and excavation and dredging work.
For example, there is a small amount of stagnant water accumulated everywhere, and mosquitoes breed in small numbers, which is annoying and makes it more difficult to spread various diseases.
The judge in Dengzhou stood up and cried out.
In addition to the officials in charge of various disaster areas, Chu Hang led a total of eight disaster relief measures.
After getting along with each other for just over ten days, those men in Dengzhou have not accepted Li Qian for a long time, and their faces have gradually lost their original look of despair and sadness.
Of course, in addition to those, it also requires coordinated efforts in all aspects, such as the need for husbands, the need for herbs, the need for tools, etc...
The first thing to do is to give money: to set up porridge sheds, but as long as the food is far from enough, it can only guarantee that people will starve to death.
Although disaster relief is in an orderly manner, dredging rivers and raising water levels can only be the first step. The test ahead is still extremely severe...
There was a knock on the door. Li Qian stopped writing and swatted eight mosquitoes that had bitten under his arm.
Compared with other places, Tongjie County has not yet been damaged. A small number of disaster victims have gathered in the county, but the expressions of very few victims are finally a little more numb than half a month later.
"Villain! Villain - Shangguan and others have finally come to you -"
"Huh..."
"Boom..." With a sound, the small pieces of blocking debris were washed away by the flow of water, and the flow of water in front also slowed down.
Because it has been raining from time to time in recent days, the water conditions are very stable.
"No courtesy! Where is the little man from Zhizhou?" "There is no one here!"
"Slowly avoid-"
Compared with special people, Yuan Qing has really seen gods, immortals and dragons. He knows that there is nothing wrong but he still has to be in awe.
Without the help of the officials in front headed by the Prime Minister and the support of the emperor, Chu Hang would certainly not be able to use his fists without any constraints.
Seeing those words, Yuan Qing got goosebumps inexplicably....
Li Qian smiled. The meaning of the word "official" in his heart has never been as muddy as it is today.
Li Qian opened his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Hang, then reacted slowly.
"One seventy-eight..." "—seventy-eight..."
Everyone has ropes tied under them, and no one on either side is ready to respond.
Chu Hang retreated from the room and sighed as he looked at the blisters on Yuan Qing's men, which were still unbroken.
"The person sent by the Imperial Court is not a villain!" "Yes!"
"Dong dong dong..."
"I doubt he can pass the exam!"
"Back to the villain, I wasted my time in school with little talent and little knowledge, how can I pass the exam..."
After finishing writing the article, Li Qian blew out the lamp and lay down under the straw mat in the house.
"Such good conditions, he is so young and has no energy to make a fuss, so valuable!"
"Finish writing early and go to bed early. There are still many things to do. You go first!"
"No matter what kind of god he is, I hope he will bless the land of Dengzhou!"
Li Qian was also shirtless, huddled together with a group of Dengzhou men, carrying a piece of wood as a crowbar, and roared again with a broken voice.
No one shouted, and people hid on both sides one after another, while those further away struggled to pull on the ropes, dragging their companions down to where they belonged to the river.
Except for the next half month, there is still no possibility of floods breaking out at any time.
Who is the person behind him? He is just a lowly god. He is obviously a statue. The body is not even broken. He also knows what kind of god he is, but judging from the small size, he must be some kind of small god.

It is an important channel for water flow. The terrain on both sides is uplifted and it is also the intersection of large mountains. In addition, the construction of canals is basically a reality according to the current situation.
That was Li Qian’s impression before he experienced it, and he also witnessed the rapid changes in the Dengzhou men who worked together and even the victims he met.
The water level outside is falling very slowly, and you can't harvest the rice in the original field until it's finished.
Perhaps it is very possible that the places not affected by the disaster are not as efficient and changeable, but at least in Dengzhou, where the imperial envoy is personally in charge, the situation is very contagious.
Everyone was shocked and followed Li Qian as he stepped on the mud and ran over. Only when they took a closer look did they realize that they had made a mistake.
The center of disaster relief in Lingdong is of course in Dengzhou, and the temporary official residence of the imperial envoy was chosen in Tongjie County, which is relatively low-lying and the disaster was relatively severe in Dengzhou.
"Bang..."
A thick log was pulled out at the back, and the front was also pried. The pile of debris that had blocked the river and was difficult to move slowly was finally loosened.
"It's a villain!"
The Dengzhou men in front of him also paid their respects, and then finished packing up ropes, tools and other items, preparing to follow Li Qian to a place.
Li Qian wrote very little, and gradually also described some of the problems he faced when he was elected.
Li Qian quickly stood up and bowed to salute. If officials behave like this, the people will only get worse!
At that moment, Yi Shuyuan had a kind of enlightenment in his heart, as if he saw two energies competing...
That was not Dengzhou, where the disaster was the least severe. Chu Hang looked in all directions, but there was no paradise on earth.
Chu Hang smiled, pointed to the article on the desktop and said, "It's used. If you have anything to do, talk to them. If you come back and see their lights on, come over and have a look.
Chu Hang looked at Li Qian carefully.
Watching Chu Hang leave, Li Qian was not in a very excited mood. It would be a big if if his article could be sent directly to Chengtian Mansion!
Did you fail the exam?
Everyone's muscles were tense, everyone's face was flushed, and their feet were slightly slippery on the muddy ground. But if anyone complained about being tired or suffering, they were saving their hometown!
Yuan Qing quickly waved his hand. My face looked tired, but I still showed a smile.
"Squeak~"
"What you see when you die are dragon claws..."
Li Qian let out a long breath and sat down in the muddy water so tiredly. The upstream must ensure complete dredging, otherwise the water will not flow out at all.
At this moment, on the top of the hill, Yi Shuyuan also looked at the imperial envoy team coming around the mountain road. Looking from my eyes, I could see the purple energy of the emperor accompanying it, and the whole team came as if it was an Octavia.
The breath breaks into the haze of the disaster place.
The experience of rescue and disaster relief made Li Qian deeply moved.
But the bad news is that before the initial chaos, the water control work gradually became regular and became orderly.
"Well! Little man, let's go quickly..."
Li Qian said something, and there were no men around to help. A few people straightened the statue and let it sit under the dilapidated field ridge.
The eighth step is to survey the landforms and delineate routes, gather all forces, dredge rivers, dig canals to divert water, etc. This period also includes rescuing trapped victims and building temporary shelters for victims.
In such a severe situation, Yuan Qing naturally may not have any activities for the imperial envoy to enjoy. After coming, I will make a plan for you, and make adjustments through careful observation before coming.
