I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 535 Vulnerability
Those families in the county heard that the county magistrate was worried about the dam breaking upstream and ordered them to be moved. Many people couldn't help complaining, thinking that the county magistrate was really worrying.

Of course, there are also people who believe what the county magistrate said.

Therefore, after all the people in the county had been notified, most of them still chose to believe what the county magistrate said.

Some went into battle lightly, and ran away with some food and silver.

There were a few families who didn't take what Master Qiu and the others said seriously.

Although he said he knew it, once the door was closed, he could do whatever he was supposed to do!
Hearing the reports from the people below, Mr. Qiu was not angry when he learned that some people didn't think so, so he let them leave the city and inform the villages downstream of the embankment to move them out as soon as possible.

After all, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost.

However, Master Qiu never expected that the people in those villages were even more difficult to deal with than those families in the city.

After all, the few families in the city are on good terms with you on the surface, but they continue to go their own way behind the scenes, and there is no sign of transferring.

In the villages notified, Rang Lizheng was responsible for the transfer of the big guys, but the villagers flatly refused.

After all, their ancestors have lived in this village for generations.

Now let them move out of the village in the heavy rain, or because of something that hasn't happened yet, how could they agree?
"The old man has lived here for dozens of years, and he has never heard of a dam breaking.

If you want to go, you go, the old man will not go. "

One of the old boys in this village, leaning on crutches and with a straight face, said to the official who came to persuade him.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and entered the house, closing the door!
Others in the village, seeing the old Tongsheng doing this, followed suit one after another, ignoring what the officials said so earnestly.

"Boss, what should I do?"

One of the servants who was following Guo Shihai asked him angrily.

Master Qiu didn't expect this to happen.

Before he could think of a way, Huang Xueshu also ran from the city to the countryside in the rain.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"It's okay, how are things going?

Have they all been moved from the village? "

Huang Xueshu wiped the rainwater off his face and asked worriedly.

Master Qiu and Guo Shihai glanced at each other, a little silent, not knowing how to tell the county magistrate that these villagers did not listen to their persuasion and did not want to move.

The subordinate who had muttered to Guo Shihai before couldn't help but complain to the county magistrate about what happened just now.

Huang Xueshu was a little surprised to hear that there was an old boy in this village.

However, regarding what Guo Shihai's subordinates said, after Huang Xueshu pondered for a moment, he said to Master Qiu and Guo Shihai.

"Since they didn't listen to what we said, we invited Li Zheng from the village and other respected people to follow us to the embankment to check.

Whether it is a lie or not, and whether they want to transfer it at that time, it is up to them to decide. "

Guo Shihai's eyes lit up when he heard the county magistrate's words.

That's right, since you don't believe what they say, let them witness it with their own eyes!

Neither Li Zheng nor Lao Tongsheng expected that the county magistrate would come in person.

Especially the old Tongsheng, who changed his nose upturned before, and saluted the county magistrate in a respectful manner after he came out.

Not to mention Lizheng, I wanted to go to see it, now I have the opportunity to go together, it would be a great thing!

Of course, apart from this village, there are several other villages that need to be persuaded to move.

If they are like this village and are unwilling to move, then the people in that village are going to visit the embankment together with the respected people.

In this way, there are really several villages and respected people who are going to follow the magistrate to check the embankment.

Others, there were a few families, packed up their things and left the village without looking back.

And when they followed the magistrate all the way to the embankment, the few Lizheng and respected people couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If what the government said is true, aren't they in danger now?
The torrential rain fell on the river blocked by the embankment, and the water level was obviously much higher than usual.

If the rainstorm ends in these few days, I believe that this amount of rainwater should not break the dam.

However, when the torrential rain will stop, everyone has no idea.

After all, looking at the rain falling from the sky, it was as if a hole had been stabbed in the sky, which was very scary.

Huang Xueshu took Guo Shihai along, and didn't care about the water level of the river blocked by the dam, but carefully checked the dam bit by bit.

After all, the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest.

If the rain doesn't stop, the water in the river surges, and there is a gap in the dam, that will be the most deadly.

Sure enough, when he found the part near the middle of the embankment, Huang Xueshu's heart suddenly sank.

"This...this is???"

Guo Shihai saw that there was water coming out of this place. Although it was raining heavily, it was obvious that it was leaking.

"Quickly, call someone to block this place."

If it is sunny, you can use glutinous rice water mixed with clay to fill the loopholes here.

However, it is raining heavily now!
I am afraid that the clay mixed with glutinous rice water, even if it is filled in this hole, will be washed away by the rain.

But what if you don't make up?
And the complexions of those Lizheng and respected people who came with the county magistrate also turned dark.

After all, if the dam really burst, then their village would be completely submerged in the water!
"It looks like I have to move!"

Even if the house is flooded, it is much better than being drowned.

Soon, several of those highly respected people went back to mobilize the big guys to transfer!
It was Huang Xueshu who asked Lai to plug the hole, watched everyone finish their work, and dragged Guo Shihai to continue checking.

In this inspection, three or four such loopholes were found.

The people on the side were scared and covered in sweat.

But the old Tongsheng who came with Lizheng didn't say much in front of the county magistrate.

In fact, in my heart, I don't care.

After all, even though it has been a long time since the dam was built, there are so many leaks.

But, isn't that already covered?
Therefore, there is no need to transfer it. After the transfer, it was found that the embankment was fine. Isn't it just looking for trouble?

Because of these loopholes that were patched, Huang Xueshu wished he could live next to the dam.

If the patched holes are washed away with the patched clay, it can be patched again in time.

Hearing that the county magistrate wanted to stand by the dam, Master Qiu anxiously persuaded him not to agree with his dangerous decision.

　Ask for a monthly pass, please!
