Chapter 991 Sun County Magistrate
The reference of Youli County is the first, and the situation below is very similar, and it will be much easier to repair the river.
As for He County, next to it is the largest river channel. If the water swells every year, it must be the most severely affected area, and because of the problem of governance here, the river embankment is built higher and higher, but the water will increase. The collapse of the river embankment directly affected more than a dozen counties downstream and even other state capitals without flooding.
Chu Heng and Eunuch Ren looked at the turbulent river in front of them, their faces were full of seriousness.
The county magistrate Sun, who was waiting next to him, was sweating on his forehead, and looked at the two nervously. It's just that the two officials are older than him. Eunuch Ren is still from the palace, and he has personal guards by his side. What, there is no chance, but the river under his control has such a serious problem, and he has not reported it to the truth.
Magistrate Sun just wants to go back and write a letter to the people above.
"Master Sun."
"My...I'm here." County magistrate Sun was thinking wildly when he heard Chu Heng's voice startled. Originally, he was not afraid of Chu Heng. After all, he was just a small official and was inconspicuous in the capital.
But the aura of the opponent made him subconsciously weaker.
"Why is there so much water in this river? Looking at the current flow, it can be seen that it should be connected to other branches."
Of course, County Magistrate Sun did not dare to offend the two of them, at least he did not dare to offend them when he got a reply from the person above: "My lord, this river is indeed connected to Yujiang, and Yujiang is a big river, all the way to the sea in the east. .”
"Because of this, there is usually a connection between the two, resulting in more and more water in the river..."
"Since five years ago, the embankment has been repaired from every three years to once a year." Naturally, County Magistrate Sun did not dare to let the embankment collapse. After all, there have been no floods in the past few years. If the river collapsed , not only could he not wear his official hat securely, but he might even lose his life.
So he does honestly repair the embankment every year.
Chu Heng said: "Does the county government have a map of the entire river?"
"some."
"Eunuch Ren, I'm going to check the river sediment situation first." After Chu Heng told Eunuch Ren, he looked at County Magistrate Sun who was stunned aside, with a slight smile on his face: "Magistrate Sun, please tell me Let the officials go and have a look together, after all, you know the situation best."
"Huh? I'm going?" County magistrate Sun was so surprised that he used the wrong name.
Chu Heng tilted his head to look at him: "What? County Magistrate Sun is not willing?"
How could County Magistrate Sun dare to nod his head, his neck was stiff, and he hurriedly said, "I don't dare."
"Come here." Chu Heng led the way, and Eunuch Ren was on the shore, standing next to a document he brought to help record some data.
Lu Chuan and Chu Heng went down first. The county magistrate Sun didn't know how to swim, but seeing that Chu Heng had gone down, he could only tremble with his fat body, quickly took off his shoes, walked to the river, and slid down slowly.
Who knew, when he stepped in, half of his leg sank in, making him scream in fright.
Chu Heng and Eunuch Ren have already started to write down the data.
Looking at County Magistrate Sun who was sitting by the river covered in mud and not daring to move, Eunuch Ren smiled and said, "Magistrate Sun must have never checked the river himself, right?"
"Naturally... um..." When he realized what he said subconsciously, the county magistrate Sun's face turned pale for a moment, and he quickly added: "If you go back to your father-in-law, the next official used to find capable people who came here to repair the river. Knowing how to swim, I was also afraid of causing trouble for everyone, so I just watched on the shore and absolutely guaranteed to complete the task within the fixed time limit."
