Construction of the Tutu Temple started, and Ikehashi continued to go to work.

"Director, there will be a meeting in the county tomorrow, and the dredging office will be called upon to attend." Li Weiwei entered the office and said.

He is still a temporary worker, but he is already familiar with the work of a secretary, and he has also changed his address to Ikehashi Matsu, no longer calling him "Brother Matsu", but calling him "Director" like others.

At first, Ikehashi always felt awkward when he was called "director".

In his impression, the director seemed to have a greasy middle-aged image, with a big belly and a shiny face. However, he was only sixteen years old, not yet an adult.

If you count from before the New Year, you are already a social activist with two years of experience.

"Did you say anything about the content of the meeting?"

"Yes, it's about flood prevention work in Pengli Lake."

"Okay, I will go on time tomorrow. By the way, call Deputy Director Chen." Chi Qiaosong is very considerate in front of others. He never calls him "Old Chen", but always calls him "Deputy Director Chen".

Of course, there is no taboo in private. If you don't call me Lao Chen, Lao Chen won't be happy.

"Director." Old Chen's name is Chen Ziru.

The name is a good one, but it's a pity that I don't live a comfortable life.

"Have you summarized the water level of Pengli Lake this year and the hydrology of the rivers above it?"

"They are all there. I'll have someone send the documents over."

"Um."

Old Chen brought the documents.

They were all handwritten forms. There were no civilian computers in this era, and even if they were, idle units like the dredging office would not be qualified to equip them.

After looking through the form and asking Lao Chen if he didn't understand, Chihashimatsu quickly understood the situation of Pengli Lake: "The water level has exceeded 18 meters, and it will continue to rain in the next week, and it is very likely to exceed 20 meters."

"Yes, if it breaks twenty meters, there is a danger of flooding." Lao Chen replied seriously.

But he quickly and easily added: "Floods are also the responsibility of the Water Conservancy Bureau. The Dredging Office is responsible for clearing rivers and lakes. The dry season is when our unit is busy."

Ikehashi Matsu said calmly: "If you can contribute, you should still go all out."

Lao Chen did not refute, just smiled and said: "Yes, I must contribute."

…

…

…

The next day.

Ikehashi Matsu went to the county governor's office for a meeting.

The county governor Liu Shumin was not present, and the county assistant Xiang Zhihan was in charge. Xiang Zhihan was not a martial artist, but a scholar who assisted Liu Shumin in managing the county's general affairs.

Basically, all parts of Daxia have such a structure, with a martial arts giant as the leader and several scholars assisting from the side.

From provinces and cities to villages and towns, everything is the same.

After all, if a warrior is good at fighting, if he is allowed to use a pen, it would be almost meaningless.

"The water level of Pengli Lake is in an emergency. I have received an order from Governor Liu Shumin to plan the flood discharge area before the lake embankment is reversed... The water conservancy department plans as soon as possible, and the militia is ready to go into battle at any time..."

At first, Ikehashi Matsu listened carefully.

The repeated discussions and arrangements that followed were really boring. Everything as small as a river or as large as an entire lake area were repeatedly compared and compared. We had relevant experts to make suggestions and arrangements.

He observes his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the county assistant calling his name to Zhihan: "Director Ikehashimatsu, the dredging office must cooperate with the Water Conservancy Bureau to divert the river into the lake in advance to cut off the rainwater from flowing into Pengli Lake."

"Okay." Ikehashi nodded.

The meeting ended shortly after.

The leaders of each unit dispersed one after another. Those who knew each other chatted with each other. Those who did not know each other, such as Ikehashi Matsu, simply left with their notebooks under their arms.

Some people recognized him on the street.

Attitudes varied. Some smiled at him and said hello, while others gave him a cold glance. He was too young, and even if it was only Qingshui Yamen, there was still a lot of controversy.

However, no one pointed out that he was not worthy of being the director of the dredging office.

He participated in the killing of a martial arts giant at the mage level. Many warriors at the warrior level had fought several battles with Marshal Zhu, but none of them had achieved such feats.

"director."

Li Weiwei was waiting at the door of the corridor of the Governor's Office.

He helped Ikehashi hold an umbrella all the way back to the dilapidated water building.

Returning to his own territory, Chihashimatsu handed over the tasks assigned by the meeting to Chen Ziru: "Old Chen, be sure to cooperate with the Water Conservancy Bureau and do a good job in flood prevention."

"Okay, definitely."

Lao Chen left the office, and Ikehashi turned his chair toward the window.

Rumble.

There happened to be a thunder outside.

Then the rain that had become light suddenly became heavy again, and soon developed into a downpour. Raindrops the size of soybean grains pitter-pattered on the glass windows, seeming to break the glass.

"When there is a drought, we die of drought, and when there is waterlogging, we die again. The weather this year is really terrible." Ikehashi sighed.

He seriously doubted whether Master Fei from the Tianshi Mansion of the Si Han Dynasty had saved the Mokan Jiao, and whether he had offered sacrifices to the mountains and dragon veins of Mokan County to regulate the luck of Mokan County.

"Or."

He stood up from the chair, walked to the glass window, and looked through the pouring rain curtain at the big tree that was blown to pieces by the wind and rain: "Is there any other foreign object that can overcome the disaster?"

This year we have encountered two foreign body disasters.

Once, the big water snake transformed into a dragon through a tribulation, and once, the old fox transformed into a dragon through a tribulation. Both times were basically judged as failures - the Mokan dragon survived the thunder tribulation, but died in the human tribulation.

But what is surprising is that these two foreign objects failed to escape the tribulation, but they both left a glimmer of hope.

The big water snake has left behind its offspring Xiaomokan, Jiaoxiaoqing, who is growing up safely; the old fox has lost all its bald fox fur, but is protected by Ikehashi Pine and can start over again.

"There is destiny somewhere, and with me as the center, I have changed the fate of the creatures around me."

Just thinking about it.

The phone on the desk suddenly rang.

These are the only two telephones in the Dredging Office. One is the director's dedicated line, and the other is placed in the staff office for external communication.

"Hello." Ikehashi Matsu grabbed the phone and asked in a deep voice.

"Comrade Chi Qiaosong, this is Tao Mingliang from the Water Conservancy Bureau. I have received notification from my superiors that the heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has formed a flood peak, and it is expected to reach Pengli Lake in two to three days. We don't have time to wait any longer. Please dispatch the dredging office immediately.

Manpower, go to the water conservancy bureau compound to meet."

"Is the situation so critical? Okay, I will personally lead the team and rush there." Ikehashi Matsu responded.

He usually doesn't care much about the work of the dredging office.

Focus on practicing martial arts.

But that doesn't mean he will just sit back and watch.

Floods mean that tens of thousands of people will be threatened. If they are not in their positions, they will not be able to do their jobs. Now that he is in his position, the dredging office will naturally contribute.

"Deputy Director Chen Ziru, please call the river chief and lake chief, and we will rush to the Water Conservancy Bureau compound within half an hour."

"Director, are you in such a hurry?"

"Um."

Chen Ziru had something to say, but he didn't say anything. Following Ikehashimatsu's instructions, he gathered all the employees of the dredging office, put on rain gear, and hurried to the Water Conservancy Bureau compound.

On the way, Chen Ziru found an opportunity to ask: "Director, you are too hasty."

"What's wrong?"

"The dredging office is to assist in flood control. We don't need to take the lead. We can let other departments go first. If something goes wrong, we won't be implicated."

Hearing this, Chihashimatsu frowned: "Old Chen, just do good deeds and don't ask about your future."

Chen Ziru was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
Chapter completed!
