Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 12 How did the adults take a detour?
After walking for at least an hour, the ox cart finally stopped. Song Jinshu got off the cart with a pale face, supported by Lu Ruoyu.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Looking at the weak appearance of the little girl opposite, Lu Ruoyu was really worried that she would faint at any time, and her eyes never moved away.
Song Jinshu covered his mouth with one hand and shook the other hand to indicate that he was fine.
Now that the rain had subsided a little, the two of them found a clean patch of grass to stand on, from which they happened to have a clear view of the river dam below.
The current state of the river dam was actually worse than they had imagined. Song Jinshu clearly saw several holes in the wall.
Why wait for half a year? She felt that when she returned, she should clean her neck and wait for someone to chop it off.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the two were silent, but their brows were furrowed.
"Alas! It seems there is no need to repair this dam."
Lu Ruoyu looked at Song Jinshu in surprise, and Song Jinshu glared at him lightly and said, "Isn't it true? You can see that repairing the river dam is no longer meaningful!"
In fact, Lu Ruoyu knew it very well, but did he have to watch the people of Jingyang County suffer?
He frowned and looked down, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"I understand. We can only move the people away as soon as possible. Once the rainy season is over and the river water recedes, we can find a way to repair it!"
But once the river dam collapses, where can the people go?
And there are the crops that we planted with great effort, they are food!
The food supply for the next year is here, how can the people give it up easily?
Song Jinshu mobilized his brain cells and started thinking of a solution. The dam could not be repaired, but a canal could be dug to divert the water.
This water is hated by everyone in spring and summer, but becomes a treasure in summer.
People can fight over water in order to irrigate their farmland!
If the river water can be diverted to each village, it will be easier to irrigate farmland in the summer.
But digging the canal is a huge project. She has to go back and study the geographical environment of Jingyang County carefully, and also visit the village for an on-site investigation.
But she was afraid that if the rain continued to fall, the river dam would collapse before the canal was dug, and several nearby villages would be flooded.
What a dilemma!
After hearing Lu Ruoyu's suggestion, she felt that this was the best way at the moment.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. The lives of the people are the most important, so let's relocate the people first.
"Let's go back first. It's not an easy job to transfer the people."
Lu Ruoyu nodded and followed her with an umbrella.
After a lot of trouble, the two of them returned to the county government office, and it was already past lunchtime.
Third sister Song Yunqing had already boiled some hot water for her. Song Jinshu simply washed up and had dinner.
I have to say that her third sister's cooking skills are really amazing, and the food is a hundred times more delicious than what the cook in the county government office cooks.
In the two days since they came, her food has improved qualitatively, and she won't stop until she eats two bowls of rice at a meal.
After dinner, she was not idle either. She declined the "warmth" sent by her sister Bai Lianhua and stayed in the study to study the map of Jingyang County.
It was not until late at night that she fell asleep contentedly holding the drawn canal route map.
Hmm...good! No nightmares tonight, that's a good sign!
As expected, she got up late the next day.
When they arrived at the front yard of the county government office, Lu Ruoyu was already busy as a cricket. When he saw her coming, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
At this time, why is she still so careless?
"What's going on? Are the people willing to leave?"
Lu Ruoyu shook her head: "In the nearby villages, only a few families are willing to take refuge in the mountains, and the rest are unwilling to leave!"
In order to get the people to evacuate as soon as possible, he personally went to the nearest village to lobby, but was driven out.
Actually, it is understandable. The whole family is counting on this year's harvest. Food is the lifeblood of the villagers. Who would be willing to give it up?
Song Jinshu nodded lightly upon hearing this and handed the canal map he had drawn late at night to Lu Ruoyu.
After the other party took it and looked at it, he looked at her in surprise. Song Jinshu looked mysterious.
"I've done some research. The terrain in Jingyang County is very uneven. Some areas are very flat, without mountains, and there is very little water. In the summer, crops are easily dried up due to lack of water.
In some areas, the terrain is uneven, farmland is easily affected, and food production is low."
"The river dam is located right between these two points. I want them to use the river dam as the center and dig canals along the village farmland. They can also dig reservoirs in each village and then let the river water from the dam flow into the reservoirs along the canals for use in the summer.
In addition, villages located at higher elevations can use waterwheels to lift water from lower areas to higher elevations, which not only solves the problem of river dam flooding but also solves the problem of water shortage in summer."
After hearing this, Lu Ruoyu's handsome face was full of disbelief. My lord, she...she has such talent, why did she act so badly before?
Could it be that he has figured it out and feels that greed for money is bad, so he has started to love his country and protect his people?
Looking at the detailed blueprint in his hand, his heart was beating violently. This method of digging canals to divert water had never been seen before.
Thanks to you, adults, he has gained a lot of knowledge today.
There is also a waterwheel that can bring water from low places to high places, which is unprecedented. If you can build it, your name will definitely be recorded in history...
Lu Ruoyu sighed silently. My Lord has such great talent, why did he go astray?
Fortunately, he has turned over a new leaf now. In the future, he will definitely supervise the adults and prevent him from going astray again!
"Your Excellency's method is excellent, but I am afraid the dam will not be ready until then."
If they had not gone to see it in person yesterday, they could still comfort themselves, but seeing it with their own eyes would be self-deception and they would not have the confidence.
He couldn't help but hope, "If the rain stops right now, maybe we can accomplish this!"
Even if a waterwheel cannot be built immediately, there is still time to dig a canal before the dam collapses.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Song Jinshu also sighed. Doesn’t God help her?
Is it possible that she is doomed to die?
"I hope it will be sunny tomorrow!"
In her heart, she had secretly cursed the original owner countless times. She ran away quickly, leaving the mess to herself.
The two of them stopped talking about other things and started to improve the drawings. It must be said that Lu Ruoyu has a very good brain.
He can draw inferences from one example, and some of his ideas are even very advanced and more in line with the conditions of Jingyang County.
Until going to bed, Song Jinshu couldn't help but sigh. He was able to inherit the original owner's position after her death, it must be because of his strength!
Song Jinshu fell asleep to the sound of rain. This time, she no longer had the nightmare of being beheaded, but dreamed of the scene after the dam collapsed.
All the villages in Jingyang County were flooded, and many people who did not have time to escape were drowned by the river. When they came ashore again, they had become cold corpses.
As a result, Jingyang County was filled with unclaimed floating corpses, and later on, more were discovered...
