Chapter 337: The embankments are repaired and broken every year
As soon as Qi Kang'an came over, a young man sitting opposite Lu Tongpan immediately stood up and retreated behind Lu Tongpan.
This man Qi Kang'an also knew, he was Shuangji, the eldest son of the old housekeeper of Lu Tongpan's family, and he was also Lu Tongpan's personal servant.
So without being polite, he sat down, placed Qi Bao'er on the seat where Shuang Ji had just been sitting, panted slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Upon seeing this, Magistrate Lu Tong smiled and sat down. People obviously didn't want him to salute, and it was indeed inappropriate here.
I feel happy in my heart. Although it is not strange to be polite to many people, it is only true that we can meet each other so casually, we are close relatives and close friends.
This shows that his efforts were not in vain, and he finally connected the relationship between the Qilu family.
It also shows that he is not mistaken about the person. The Lord of Anle County is not someone who is superior to others and does not recognize the old person as soon as he has an identity.
It is said that your butt determines your vision, but in fact, your butt also determines the attitude of people around you towards you.
No matter how kind and kind the former Lu Tongpan was to the people, he still had the aloofness of an official attached to him.
Think about the scene when Qi Kang'an and his son met Judge Lu Tong for the first time. Qi Kang'an knelt down and stood up several times, but Judge Lu Tong was sitting high above him without even moving his buttocks.
Now, he personally poured a cup of tea for each of the father and son, "It's a coincidence that we can meet the county leader and Brother Qi here."
Qi Kang'an didn't say anything about Ye Yang. He just said that today they asked Taoist Priest Li to do the work on the beams of their house. It happened that he wanted to send a few Taoist priests back and wanted to take his daughter out for a walk. Who knew that he was so unlucky that he met this ghost?
weather.
I also asked Judge Lu Tong whether he was preparing to leave the city or return to the city.
Lu Tongpan likes to pray for health and well-being. He is very knowledgeable and does not ask questions that should not be asked. He only asks questions about entering and leaving the city, not what he wants.
"I was about to go back to the city when the sky started to fall, so I stopped here to take shelter from the rain just in case."
Glancing vaguely at Qi Baoer, who was drinking tea from a cup, Lu Tongjian opened his mouth with a slightly troubled expression, but in the end said nothing more.
Qi Kang'an still had some foresight, and he could tell that Judge Lu Tong probably wanted to say something to his daughter, and that it was probably not a good thing, otherwise Judge Lu Tong would not have been in trouble.
So, he changed the subject and talked about something else as if he didn't see it.
The two families already have contacts, so there is a lot of time to talk. They greet each other's family first, how is this body, and how is that body? Your house has been built, so when will you move?
Don't forget to tell me to wait.
After a while, heavy rain fell on the ground outside the tea shed. The rain fell hard and fast, causing a moment of silence in the otherwise noisy tea shed.
Immediately afterwards, there was a louder noise, and everyone was complaining and uneasy about the sudden heavy rain.
Complaining means being trapped.
disturbed···
A table not far away started talking about the heavy rain and the flood problem in the south.
The south has a lot of rainy season, especially from March to September, when it rains almost every two days with light rain and every five days with heavy rain.
A thin young man in a green shirt gritted his teeth angrily and said: "We used to build rivers and bridges almost every year, but as a result, the first heavy rain of this year only came a few days longer. The river embankments collapsed, the bridges were broken, and the refugees
Displaced.”
The other young man sitting next to him in a black shirt suddenly changed his expression and looked around nervously. He tapped his hand with a fan and warned in a low voice: "Brother Yan, be careful what you say."
Is this something that students like them can say at will?
The young man in the green shirt spoke in a low voice but did not suppress it intentionally. The two tables were close enough that Qi Kang'an, his father and his son, Lu Tongpan and others all heard what he said.
Qi Kang'an had heard that floods have been serious in the south in recent years. Especially this year, it seems that many places in the south and even towns have been flooded, and many refugees have fled from south to north.
It is said that the prince is still providing disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction somewhere in the south.
It is precisely because the south is suffering from floods. The south is a major grain-producing area in the Qilin Kingdom. This has caused food shortages in various parts of the Qilin Kingdom.
Qi Kang'an did not serve as an official. Many things had nothing to do with whether he was smart or not. It was because he was not in his position and did not pursue his political ambitions. He did not think much about it at all.
Hearing the words of the young man in green shirt, he just thought, 'Oh, it's so tragic.'
Qi Bao'er, after the young man in green shirt finished speaking, suddenly looked at Lu Tongpan with burning eyes.
Judge Lu Tong didn't know why, but the words of the young man in green shirt made him feel guilty. Even though it had nothing to do with him, he still felt his face burning.
Maybe it's because the person who did the wrong thing is in the same group as him?
My confidence was a bit lacking to begin with, but when I was stared at by Qi Bao'er like that, I felt my heart pounding in my throat.
Fortunately, Qi Baoer only glanced at him and looked away.
What dams need to be repaired every year?
The embankments have been repaired every year.
Lu Tongpan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Huh~
However, how could the county master have such sharp eyes at such a young age?
A few young people over there were already chatting about other things. They should all be nearby scholars who were planning to go for reference. After chatting for a few words, they started discussing articles with each other.
But what they didn't say was that there were other people in the tea shed talking about the floods in the south.
A bodyguard team was also taking shelter here from the rain. What a coincidence, they were the bodyguard team from Bacheng in the south.
The voices of the group of men were all very loud, and they were talking to each other. After a while, other sounds in the tea shed gradually disappeared, and only they were left chatting at the table.
From what they said, you can tell that the city of Bacheng was not harmed by floods, but almost all other counties, towns and villages under Bacheng suffered.
The reason is what Scholar Cui Shan calls the dam break.
There is a huge river in the south that runs from north to south. Everyone has called it the giant river since ancient times. This river nourishes the people on both sides of the river, but if it gets angry, it can also kill the people on both sides of the river.
Bacheng is located on one side of the giant river.
The giant river burst its banks. It had been raining intermittently for several months before it burst. The gushing river water did not give the people any time to react. It rushed straight at them, and the nearby villages were completely destroyed in just a few breaths.
The villages were leveled by the river, and they were only far enough away for people to flee their homes.
The reason why there is nothing in Bacheng is because Bacheng was attacked by other countries two hundred years ago. At that time, Bacheng was always in a relatively safe position, so the city walls were not high or thick, so it was easy to defeat them.
It was breached, so when the city wall was rebuilt later, the goal was to build weapons/weapons that could withstand strong attacks.
Unexpectedly, after the city wall was built, Ba City would never suffer the disaster of war, but two hundred years later, Mengzu would be so virtuous as to block the surging river.
"It was so scary at the time. We in the city could hear the rumbling sound outside the city. All the men in the city were bracing the rain with themselves or holding things against the city wall. In fact, they knew in their hearts that it was of little use.
, I’m just afraid.”
After the escort finished speaking, the whole teahouse was silent for a while.
Until a standing man asked in a low voice: "Bacheng has suffered a disaster, so isn't it worse in Youcheng?"
