Unexpectedly, this person walked quickly and soon disappeared.
He walked some distance further and found a small town here called Baishui Town. Many men, women and children lived here all year round. There were also many unique houses nearby.
It was noon, and Zhizhi stopped moving forward. Instead, he turned back into the town and ate at random, and then went to the store to ask about the rain situation.
"Shop owner, may I ask how many days and how much rain it has rained in Baishui Town since June?"
The shop owner saw that this man looked strange and he was wearing official uniform, so he replied without much thought: "Shangguan must be from out of town."
Jingzhi nodded and said: "Yes, I am traveling from Lanzhou. After the rain, I traveled all the way along the Yellow River embankment and only arrived here today."
Hearing this, the store owner looked outside the door and was a little surprised to find that there were no transportation animals such as carriages. If there were no transportation animals, it meant that the fourth-rank official from Lanzhou walked to Baishui Town.
If we relied solely on our feet, we would have to walk for at least ten days.
"Shangguan serves the country and the people, and he actually walked here, which is admirable." The shop owner was in awe of him.
Jingzhi said: "It is the duty of an official to serve the country and the people. Your Majesty has said that officials are public servants of the people. We act with your Majesty, how dare we not do our best? The rain is related to the danger of the Yellow River. Please also ask
The store will inform you."
Knowing this person's intentions, the store owner said: "Speaking of which, Baishui Town has indeed had a lot of rain since June. If we count the days, it will be at least more than half a month. As for the amount of rainfall."
"I do not know."
"I don't know?" Jingzhi took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
How could these ordinary people know how much rain it had fallen without professional rain measuring tools? In just over half a month, it was enough to accumulate heavy rainfall in Lanzhou.
"It's a pity. If the store owner knew about it, it would be of great help to me." Jingzhi looked regretful and was about to continue eating when he heard a young man's voice coming from behind.
"It's raining hundreds of feet. If it continues to rain, the rainfall may reach more than a foot."
Hearing this, Jingzhi was overjoyed. When he turned back to look at the speaker, he was shocked to find that this person was not the person who stabbed Mengzi in the Yellow River before. Who was he?
"Is it you?" He was overjoyed and invited the person to his table.
"May I ask who your last name is, why you jumped into the river before, and why you are so familiar with rainfall?"
The younger brother looked disdainful: "What's so difficult about this? I'm naturally good at water. As for the amount of rainfall, I only need to remember the size and duration of rainfall every day, and I can roughly estimate the amount of rainfall."
Genius, this is definitely genius!
Jingzhi originally thought that he knew the amount of rainfall through tools. He never thought that this person could know the amount of rainfall just by observing it with the naked eye. Moreover, he was also good at water and had enough understanding of the Yellow River. If it was used to river
Flood warnings can often produce miraculous results.
Jingzhi immediately saluted his younger brother: "I am not traveling to Lanzhou, and I admire your talents very much. If my younger brother follows me to Lanzhou and does his best for the people of the world, I should be very grateful."
The younger brother snorted coldly: "You officials, you talk nonsense all day long and don't let me eat the food in front of you, but you are here to say thank you to me."
Only then did Jingzhi realize that his little brother's stomach was growling, so he quickly invited him to the table and waited quietly until he had a full meal before chatting with him.
It turns out that my surname is Jiang and my name is Jiang Yusheng. I am a native of Wei County, Weizhou. I have been proficient in water properties since I was a child and like river things. Although I am young, I have done a lot of research on the Yellow River. This time, he came from Wei because of continuous rain.
We walked from the county until we passed Lanzhou and arrived at Baishui Town.
Although they don't know each other, they do the same thing.
After Jiang Yusheng introduced himself, he patted Jingzhi on the shoulder and said: "Speaking of high officials, if I hadn't heard the store owner say that you also came up on foot, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you. Officials in the world are all the same. They eat people.
If you don't spit out bones, especially that stinking emperor Li Tai is the worst."
Jingzhi smiled and said: "Then I'd like to thank Brother Jiang for being considerate. Speaking of which, you may not know that those officials who eat people without spitting out their bones have been arrested. The tyrant Li Tai has also been imprisoned in the sky prison. Now the name of the court is
Great Han, His Majesty the Emperor is called Qin Huaidao, and he is an extremely good and wise king."
"How good can it be? It's all the same anyway." Jiang Yusheng said with his head between his legs, "That is to say, you and I like it, the high official."
Jingzhiyi explained: "His Majesty said that we must realize the ideal of equality for all people in the world. He also said that officials like us are public servants of the people and must not ride on the people like parasites. A few days ago, His Majesty even ran away in person.
I went to Jiangnan and beheaded a feudal official because he bullied the people."
"Oh? Really?" Jiang Yusheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately became curious about His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty is so kind? How big of an official is the border official?"
Seeing his interest, Jingzhi said, "I told you, can you go to Lanzhou with me?"
"That depends on how you say it."
"What if it doesn't work?"
Jiang Yusheng smiled, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "For the sake of your kindness, it's okay if you can eat buns every day."
Jingzhi showed a comfortable smile on his face: "Your Majesty has many benefits. He invented the curved shaft plow, which increased the efficiency of people's farming dozens of times, and invented movable type printing, allowing more people to learn it.
If you have written words, you can have books to read. As for the official in the border area, he is Situ Ju, the supervisor of Jiangnan Road, and a first-class official in the imperial court."
Young people obviously don't know the weight of a first-class official.
Seeing this, he added: "A first-grade official, that is the highest official in the imperial court."
Hearing these words, the bun in Jiang Yusheng's mouth fell to the ground with a clatter. A somewhat distressed Jiang Yusheng quickly picked up the bun from the ground and swallowed it all in a few mouthfuls.
He is also a miserable person.
After eating, the rain in Baishui Town gradually stopped. Seeing the rain stop, Jiang Yusheng felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Sir, let's go to the river to have a look."
Knowing that Jiang Yusheng must know something, Jingzhiyi did not refuse, but followed him to the river. After arriving at the river, he first stretched his finger towards the Yellow River. After feeling the speed of the water, he turned around and came to a river.
At the place he had specially marked, he found that the stones previously placed on the river bank had already been submerged in the water.
Looking at the endless flow of the Yellow River, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"Sir, how much power do you have? Can you mobilize many people and even influence the emperor?" Jiang Yusheng suddenly raised his head and looked at him solemnly.
Jingzhi said: "Is it so serious? If I inform Your Majesty, I have the right to make the decision, but it will take a long time to travel between Chang'an..."
After hearing that he had the power to increase the discount, Jiang Yusheng became extremely serious: "No matter how long it takes, I want all the people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River to move away as quickly as possible!"
