Turbulent Times Chapter 1021: The urination of officials in the Sui Dynasty

But when these people got the news, they were taken aback and rushed to greet them. Wang Junlin had already brought people to the county government office.

At this moment, Wang Junlin was greeted by four county officials, and he walked to the eaves. Dripping down, brows slightly frowned.

The reason why Wang Junlin temporarily changed the plan was because he received an urgent report from Fangcheng County that there was continuous torrential rain in the territory, and flood disasters may occur at any time, and he knew very well that the officials of the Sui Dynasty were urinating and would not take the initiative at all. As a matter of fact, after reporting it, I will wait for the above-mentioned tax exemption, and will not do other things.

"The lowly ranks and others didn't know that your lord was coming, so you couldn't go far to welcome me, so please forgive me..." The county magistrate Huang Zhixuan handed the rain cape to the little official next to him. Let everyone plead guilty.

Wang Junlin looked back and saw the people in Fangcheng County bowing to him in the corridor. He sighed in his heart. Decided, it's not your fault."

"Thank you, my lord." Huang Zhixuan and others breathed a sigh of relief. After they reported the possible flood disaster, they never thought that the prefect would come to inspect it in person, and he came in the rain.

In their cognition, this is simply a very incredible thing. You must know that since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, to be able to become a prefect of a county, the family must be born in a noble family, and at least above the middle noble family. Great aristocrats and high-ranking families, and such people have been pampered since childhood, and they put family interests and personal careers first. It is absolutely impossible for them to worry about what will happen to the people in the flood disaster, so they go to the county to inspect in person. Needless to say, we rushed on the road in the rain.

The previous rumors about the prefect were all about cruelty, viciousness, and clever means. At this moment, the officials of Fangcheng County discovered that the prefect may have a kind heart to care about the people. Heart, which surprised them quite a bit.

"Okay, I heard that the tea in your Rongcheng County is good. I don't know when the rain will stop. Didn't you prepare tea for me..."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will prepare the best tea here." Huang Zhixuan bowed to salute, and then went into the meeting hall.

"By the way, Mr. Huang, there are several waterlogged places in the county, and the disaster has been reported to the county government. Have you gone down to see it?" Ask about business.

"I went to see it yesterday, it's not serious." Huang Zhixuan's heart shuddered, and he quickly replied, "This is spring. In summer and autumn, the waterlogging in our Fangcheng County is a headache..."

"Oh! Master Huang, is there any good way to alleviate the waterlogging disaster in your Fangcheng County, or once and for all?" Wang Junlin asked.

Huang Zhixuan invited Wang Junlin into the room, served hot tea and cakes, and then said: "My lord, Fanyang County is full of sand and land, the terrain is low and flat, and it is rainy in summer and autumn, and the rain is heavy." If the accumulated water cannot be drained, it will form waterlogging, so the waterlogging disaster in Fangcheng County has been very serious since ancient times. It is the continuous rain at this time, and some places have already become waterlogged."

Huang Zhixuan doesn't find it strange to ask Wang Junlin such a question now. Now it seems that this legendary prefect who was originally a peerless and murderous person likes to understand people's feelings. This is obviously different from the prefect who used to hide in the garden all day. It was quite different, but Wang Junlin asked this question, it was not easy to answer, and he could only give an ambiguous answer.

It is true that the county government is responsible for water conservancy and construction in the county, but in fact, the main work of the county government in the world is to carry out grain taxation. Since the founding of the country in the Sui Dynasty, there has been no flood or drought When the report is reported, people from the county will be dispatched to check it, and when they come back, they will report the disaster truthfully or exaggerate a bit. After the report is made, the imperial court will consider it as appropriate to reduce or exempt some taxes for the affected areas. Ways to mitigate or eliminate these disasters.

But now that the prefect asks, Huang Zhixuan doesn't dislike it. A truly talented person should not be afraid to answer such a question, and he thinks today is an opportunity to show his talent.

Huang Zhixuan was born in the Huang family, a local aristocrat. He was also one of the thirteen nobles in the three counties in the south led by Zhao Zhanpeng. A signal from their thirteen noble families.

Of course, Huang Zhixuan also noticed that Wang Junlin's style of doing things after he came to Fanyang County was very different from other officials and previous prefects.

For example, for the matter of the flood, generally speaking, it should be the prefect, Tongshou, Chang Shi, etc., plus a few confidantes at most, to discuss a plan and give instructions, and order the county to implement it. It's good right now, not only came here in person, but also looked like he wanted to figure out how to do this matter, and even looked like he was going to force the county to completely solve the flood disaster problem.

Thoughts turned in Huang Zhixuan's mind, he pondered for a moment, and replied: "My lord, I think that waterlogging is a disaster. To reduce the waterlogging disaster, it lies in the word 'discharge'. Whenever heavy rain comes, as long as the accumulated water is removed in time If it is drained, it will not cause waterlogging. When it comes to "drainage", it should be to dig more ditches to facilitate drainage. Of course, it is also conducive to irrigation. It's just that these things are not easy. Right now, Fangcheng County wants to do these things Things are even more difficult..."

Wang Junlin didn't wait for him to finish, interrupted him with a cold snort, and said, "What you said earlier is good, but don't talk about such nonsense as you said. and farming is the most important thing, and should not be underestimated, and your Fangcheng County is also a flood-heavy county, and you should have summed up a set of drainage system methods for so many years."

"The humble job knows that after the humble job, I must organize manpower, summarize and research a set of systematic drainage methods as quickly as possible, and then implement it quickly." Sweat appeared on Huang Zhixuan's face. take a stand.

"Zhao Xianzi told me in the county town that you are good at farming and are well-known in Fangcheng County." Wang Junlin smiled again, and asked gently: "By the way, Du Changshi wants to turn most of Lu's land into official land, what do you think about this?"

There is another major event in Fanyang County recently, that is the "Land Revolution", which is in charge of Du Ruhui.
