Beauty has a disease

Chapter 111 Map
"Don't say it so ugly, what do you mean we can't do the job? Sufficient manpower? Oh, it's about adding the manpower of the government, but the magistrate of the government and the county magistrate and the master were taken to the prison? Can it do anything? The juniors have seen it!"

"..."

Wang Xingzhi looked at this scene with complicated expressions, he didn't know for a while whether Ember was protecting him or trying to drag him along to be resisted and disgusted by these officials.

"ember!"

Accompanied by a shout, the scene of chaotic quarrels instantly quieted down. Duan Chang stepped into the room. Behind Duan Chang, a man in white followed closely, and swished open the folding fan in his hand.

"Wearing white clothes? Now there are muddy soup everywhere, and I don't worry about getting dirty and washing it, which will damage my demeanor."

"What the girl said is interesting."

The man smiled softly, put down the half-covered folding fan, turned and retracted his wrist, and tapped his palm, "My surname is Liu, Miss Yu, nice to meet you."

When all the officials saw the person, they hurriedly saluted and shouted, "My lord."

In fact, Ember just looked at him familiarly at first, until he remembered the identity of this person when he heard that his surname was Liu.

Today's emperor's descendant is the emperor's grandson, feasting on Qing and Huai'an.

After the party on Linyang Road, on the mountain behind the temple, the owner of the giant eagle who claimed to be surnamed Liu.

Ember also bowed in salute, and said, "I've seen Young Master Liu."

The emperor sent Yan Huai'an to Shuntian Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the floods, probably because he wanted to let the emperor's grandson pick up some ready-made credits, which can be regarded as adding to his political achievements.

But what I didn't expect was that the flood was much more serious than imagined. It's hard to say whether it was the political achievements or the evidence of others' criticism afterwards.

When going out, there is no need for officials to conceal their identities, but for the royal family, concealing their identities is also a form of protection for themselves. Yan Huai'an is naturally dignified as the royal grandson, and safety is also given priority. After arriving in the capital, everyone called Yan Huai'an "Mr. Liu".

Wang Xingzhi had never met Yan Huai'an, although he was not sure of Yan Huai'an's identity, but seeing the attitude of the officials and Ember, he knew that Yan Huai'an was concealing his identity, and his identity would not be low on the surface, so he treated Yan Huai like Ember. An bowed, and then called out "Mr. Liu".

Only then did Yan Huai'an notice that there was a stranger in the room, he was surprised, "Who is this?"

"In Xiashuntian Mansion, the family of the Wang family, the Wang family stops, and the words on the table stop."

Yan Huai'an smiled, and said, "Liu Qing, the name is Huai'an."

"Happy to meet."

"Happy to meet."

After exchanging names, Yan Huai'an asked, "I don't know why Mr. Wang came to our office?"

Wang Xingzhi replied: "I don't intend to interrupt, just to observe and learn, to accumulate experience for future official career."

"Ambition." Yan Huai'an praised, and then said nothing.

Yan Huai'an's move can be regarded as showing his attitude. Although the officials are not convinced, they are old foxes who have been immersed in it for many years. Unannounced the past.

Yan Huai'an looked at Ember again, looked up and down for a while, then fixed his eyes on Ember's masked face, and said, "We seem to have met somewhere."

After hearing Yan Huai'an's words, Ember heard some meaning.

First of all, what Yan Huai'an said was not "have we met somewhere", which has room for speculation, but "we seem to have met somewhere", there must be more, especially his tone, it is clear that we have met.

He had already come to the conclusion that maybe he, like her, recognized her as early as after meeting her face to face.

Ember rolled her eyes, saw Duan Chang standing aside, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

With Duan Chang here, no problem.

"Probably some of my temperament reminded Mr. Liu of some old people, but it must not be me."

Yan Huai'an smiled, noncommittal.

"Okay, let's stop here for the rest, let's talk about some serious business." Duan Chang said.

He unfolded a map and hung it on the wall. Compared with the map showing the general situation of Shuntian Prefecture that was just covered, this map is more detailed. It shows the various rivers, lakes and waterways in Shuntian Prefecture. Even the small rivers and tributaries of rivers that are not well-known in the wild are all marked, which is very detailed.

"This is……"

"This is what I drew after consulting the local chronicles of Shuntian Prefecture and ordinary maps that are currently circulating, combined with my field investigation for a few days." Yan Huai'an said.

That is to say, Yan Huai'an, as one of the entourages of this flood control, did not see anyone at the beginning, not because he was quitting and waiting to pick up the fruits of his labor, but because he was always doing what he could.

"I not only drew the basic overview of the Shuntianfu water system, but also marked the latest damage to the river embankment. The red circle is the embankment we are paying special attention to now and needs to be treated."

Yan Huai'an paused when he said this. He glanced around the crowd and saw that they were all listening to him carefully, then nodded secretly, and continued, "But now we have encountered a new problem, the newly added gap in the embankment. Let’s not mention it for now, let’s just talk about the repaired embankment.” Yan Huai’an tapped two places on the map one after another with a fan, “It’s these two places, it was washed away by the flood again, that is to say, at these two places we It’s useless work to be busy for a long time.”

"Correspondingly, we don't know how many holes will appear in the future. If we want to completely control the flood, it will not work to repair the embankment. We have to find another way."

"Then according to the palace... the son, what should we do?"

"In my opinion, digging canals to divert water is the safest solution."

The officials discussed among themselves for a while, and one of them asked Duan Chang, "Mr. Duan Ge, what do you think?"

Duan Chang nodded to the man, expressing his approval and support for Yan Huai'an's proposal, "Young Master Liu is right, we only make up for omissions and fix the symptoms, not the root cause. We don't know how many times there will be rain in the future, and how many gaps will be added under the rain. , There are too many variables, we can only choose a more secure way, dig channels to divert the river water, and share the burden of the river's main road."

This is indeed a good proposal, but, "Where should the water be directed?"

In all fairness, the official's concerns are not unfounded.

The surrounding rivers and lakes have either high water levels or abundant water. If the water is diverted, what if new floods are caused?
At this moment, Yan Huai'an smiled, and said: "So the task for everyone is here."

"I would like to invite you adults to divide into several groups and go to the field to see where the water area can allow the amount of water after drainage. Because time is tight and there is a shortage of manpower, please leave early, except for the personnel you brought out. You can also choose a few local people to understand the situation or help with the investigation.”
