Lin Xiangmin looked around at everyone, obviously seeking the opinions of these staff.
The reactions of these staff members varied. Some were surprised, some were stunned, and some bowed their heads in deep thought.
But one thing is the same. As a staff member, you must make suggestions for Governor Lin, weigh the pros and cons, and make the next move.
Li Hongyun couldn't help but frown slightly, his brain working rapidly.
He had seen the topography of Buning Port before, and had also taken a look at the river embankment next to it from a distance.
While he was playing the role of a soldier and General Deng repeatedly attacking the city, there were also heavy rains, which proved that it was the rainy season and the water levels in the rivers were swollen.
If a hole is dug in the dam, Buning Harbor can indeed be flooded.
But the problem is... so what if it floods?
If Buning Port was an earthen city, flooding might be able to better destroy the city. But Buning Port is a wooden fortress. Although there are relatively low-lying areas inside, the bandits can also move to the mountains and towers of the fortress.
It may not cause much damage.
And after the dam breaks, once the water floods, Sheng's army will not be able to swim to attack, and it may not be able to reduce the difficulty of the attack much.
What's more, there is farmland nearby. Once the river bursts, it will be difficult to harvest the water, and other adverse impacts will be difficult to estimate.
If farmland is flooded and people are displaced, are they flooding thieves, or are they defrauding their own people?
After Li Hongyun thought about it for a moment, he felt that this was a completely nonsense proposal.
But he was a little puzzled. According to historical records, Lin Xiangmin was considered a capable minister, even knowledgeable in military matters.
Couldn't Governor Lin himself see how ridiculous this plan to destroy the embankment and flood the thieves was? Why would he still ask his staff?
Was he tampered with by demons and turned into an incompetent person? Or was he asking questions knowingly?
Li Hongyun couldn't figure out the current situation, so he decisively chose to keep silent.
It is better to let other staff take the first shot. If Lin Xiangmin asks him by name, it will not be too late to speak.
After everyone was silent for a moment, one of the staff spoke.
"May I ask, Lord Dutang, who is behind this plan of destroying embankments and drowning thieves?"
Li Hongyun couldn't help but sigh to himself, indeed, there is no incompetent person who can serve as a staff member.
By asking this question, the staff member was actually saying that this plan was not reliable at all and was not at all like a plan that Governor Lin had come up with himself. Since Governor Lin asked this question, there were obviously other reasons.
Sure enough, Lin Xiangmin sighed softly and said, "It's a secret message sent by someone from Mr. Yan Ge, just a brief mention."
At this time, all the staff members' expressions changed slightly.
Silence fell again.
Li Hongyun wanted to jump up and give each of these Riddlers a kick, but he couldn't, so he had to rack his brains to analyze.
"Is it a 'mention' in the secret letter of Chief Assistant Yan Maoqing? On the surface, it seems calm and relaxed, but in fact it is definitely not the case, otherwise Lin Xiangmin would not have called all these staff to discuss countermeasures with great fanfare...
"This is like a casual mention by the leader when he tells you to do something. If you really think that the leader just says it casually and does it or not, then your career will basically be over.
"So, it is certain that Yan Maoqing meant to destroy the embankment and drown the thieves, and his attitude was relatively firm. He hoped that Lin Xiangmin would do it.
"But... why?
"It doesn't make sense.
"This is obviously a counterproductive plan. It is not certain whether it can drown thieves, but it will flood fertile farmland and drown the people. This is a huge pot. No matter how you look at it, the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate.
“Shoufu Yan wants to kill Governor Lin?
"That's impossible. Governor Lin is on the same boat as him. He is a capable general. He also sends gifts to the theater troupe every now and then.
"Yan Shoufu is giving blind orders?
"It shouldn't be the case. Yan Shoufu has been able to control the government for decades. He may be a little bad, but he is not a fool. Even if he doesn't understand military affairs and has never seen the topography of Buning Port, he should know how to march and fight.
You must respect the opinions of professionals when it comes to matters. Random orders can really lead to death. You will not act like a micro-manipulation master and issue such a deceptive order.
"It can't be that Yan Shoufu is collaborating with thieves, right? That would be even more nonsense.
"This matter must be quite important to Yan Shoufu, and it may not even be related to gangsters. Moreover, since it is a secret message rather than an official order, it means that the purpose is probably ulterior.
“You have to guess at the intention.
"Why exactly..."
Li Hongyun fell into deep thought.
Seeing that everyone fell into silence, Lin Xiangmin looked at Li Hongyun: "Mr. Xu, what do you think about this matter?"
"Huh?" Li Hongyun was confused by the question.
What do I think?
Valley nap
I...I sat and watched...
And why do you call me Mr. Xu? My last name is Li...
But after all, he had a sharp mind and reacted quickly. He realized that the reason why Lin Xiangmin called him Mr. Xu must be because the staff member himself had a name.
And from the way Lin Xiangmin talked to him and the position where he sat, it was obvious that he was a high-status staff member who was highly valued.
But the disadvantage of being highly valued is that he can no longer fish.
Seeing everyone's eyes turned towards him, Li Hongyun had no choice but to put his duck on the shelf and forcefully said: "Master Dutang, since this matter is related to military affairs, it is better to summon General Deng and discuss it with him.
"Although this is the intention of the Chief Assistant, if the water floods the thieves but instead floods the farmland and makes the people homeless, and His Majesty becomes angry, I am afraid that the Dutang Master will not be able to bear this crime."
Li Hongyun himself knew that what he said was not good, but after all, the trial could be repeated infinitely, so there was no harm in giving it a try.
Sure enough, Lin Xiangmin looked dissatisfied and frowned slightly: "According to your wishes, let me ignore Mr. Yan Ge's wishes? Even if we can delay the chat for a while, it won't last forever.
"After destroying the embankment and drowning the bandits, it is not certain whether His Majesty will dismiss me from office; but if I do nothing, it is certain that Yan Ge will dismiss me from office. Don't call me a gangster then, everything will be done.
stop."
Li Hongyun was speechless: "This..."
Another staff member said: "Since Lord Dutang also knows that Mr. Yan Ge's wishes cannot be disobeyed, we can only do so."
However, Lin Xiangmin still shook his head and waved his hands in disappointment: "That's it, you all go out and let me think about it again."
The staff looked at each other, and in the end they could only stand up, say goodbye and leave.
Li Hongyun also followed everyone out of the door in a daze, but then, white mist enveloped him, and everything returned to its original state.
…
Li Hongyun only reacted when he saw the identity options appeared in front of him again.
"Failed?
"It seems I didn't give a correct answer..."
Li Hongyun was indeed stumped.
His answer was actually a fair answer. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the plan to destroy the embankment and drown the thieves was not reliable at all, and he might very well become a scapegoat, so he told the truth and briefly mentioned the reason for doing so.
Serious consequences also imply that this plan is not feasible militarily.
But Lin Xiangmin was obviously very disappointed with this answer. It seemed that this was something he had known for a long time.
When another staff member said that he would comply, Lin Xiangmin was obviously even more disappointed.
It won’t work if we do it, and it won’t work if we don’t do it.
Delaying it can take a while, but Mr. Yan Ge is not a fool. Seeing Lin Xiangmin's delay in taking action, he will definitely get angry, but the result will be the same.
Li Hongyun felt that his mind was empty and he could not go on at all.
The line of soldiers and soldiers is stuck, and there is no military resources; the line of staff is also stuck, and if they don't help Lin Xiangmin solve the problem at hand, everything is just empty talk.
This is how to do?
Just when Li Hongyun felt that his brain was being hollowed out, the feeling that he was about to wake up came to his heart.
Today's happiness ends here.
…
At 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Hongyun and Chu Ge woke up from bed on time.
"Chu Ge, have you tried the staff line?" Li Hongyun asked.
He is now confused and full of unsolved mysteries, and he really wants to find someone to discuss it with. The smart Chu Ge is an excellent candidate.
Chu Ge nodded: "Well, I tried it. You didn't do the advanced missions, so you went to open up a new dungeon first?"
Li Hongyun chuckled: "Of course, aren't you the same?"
I can only say that high-level players have the same opinion.
Advanced tasks take so much time, and the improvement is not necessarily huge. You can do it at any time, but you need to open up a dungeon first, and you can win the first pass.
The player who sends out the guide first will also be able to earn a lot more when the money is split at the box office.
"Then how did you answer Lin Xiangmin's question?" Li Hongyun asked again.
Chu Ge paused for a moment and said: "Actually, I haven't figured out the correct answer yet, but I already have some guesses.
"Let's check the historical data separately first, and then we'll touch upon it later.
"I have a vague feeling that the answer to this question is definitely not simple, and may even be the key to solving this trial."
