The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 252 Flood Prevention (two more)

The city gate officer smiled, stood up, walked to the city gate, pointed to the closed city gate, and said, "Sir Shen still remembers the extra one-man-high squares on both sides of the city gate. '?" Then he added, "See the groove?"

"Remember, I thought it was protruding at the time, it was really unsightly." Shen Zhou nodded and said.

"There are grooves on the protrusions, and the grooves are for the boards." The officer gestured and said, "This board can fit a person one by one." Then he added, "Then place sandbags in front of the board. , even if water doesn't seep in much."

Hearing this, Shen Zhouheng's eyes were shining, "How wonderful!" He asked curiously, "Who designed this to prevent flooding like this."

"I don't know." The officer shook his head.

Xiao Li heard the words and said, "Anyway, our Pingyi County has a history of thousands of years."

"Has this plank been used before?" Lu Ming blinked curiously.

"Anyway, as far as I can remember, there was a time when the rain was not so heavy that year, and the key was that it took a long time to fall. It was only three or five wooden boards, plus sandbags." The officer walked over with a smile and sat down again, "Let's This county has never been flooded."

"Will this city wall collapse?" Lu Ming looked at the tall city wall worriedly.

"Haha..." Xiao Li and the three of them laughed together.

"What are you laughing at? Am I asking stupidly?" Lu Ming asked out of curiosity.

"Our city wall is made of bluestone, not the kind of earth-rammed city wall, which will collapse." Xiao Li smiled and said, "The limestone and glutinous rice slurry are poured between the bluestones, which are strong, durable, and adhesive. Strong, it can effectively block the impact and seepage of the flood, and there is no problem with blisters."

"What you know is quite detailed." Lu Ming's dark eyes looked at Xiao Li and said with a smile.

"The houses in this city are built like this, of course I know." Xiao Li smiled.

"If there is an emergency, how do you notify the people in the city!" Lu Ming blinked at them and said, "Why didn't I see the drum at the city gate."

"It's in the guard room!" Shen Zhou said, looking at him with amber peach eyes.

He went to the duty room to change his clothes, and clearly saw the big drum standing against the wall. The red paint had fallen off a lot.

"Can you hear me?" Lu Ming chased and asked again.

"I can hear it, it's about the size of the drum that was placed at the entrance of the county government office." Shen Zhouheng said with a smile.

"Wait for dawn, convene people to go to the villages and towns to see the situation." Shen Zhouheng's ginger eyes were beating with flames as he looked at them and said.

"I don't know how this road is going?" Xiao Li said worriedly.

"Let's see first, if there is a landslide, we have to organize someone to clean it up." Shen Zhou looked at them with stern eyes and said.

"What about the situation in this city?" The officer looked at Shen Zhouheng anxiously and asked, why did he only care about the outside!
"Brother, before we got to the city gate, we took a look around the city. Only the east side is the place where there will always be problems when it rains, and it's still the same. The water from the street pours into the house, or the house leaks." Xiao Li looked at them and said the truth.

"Ah!" The two city gate officers looked at Shen Zhouheng in disbelief.

I didn't expect it, that is to say, the county magistrate walked around the county town in the rain.

"After dawn, bring someone to clean up the messy things that were washed down by the water on the street." Shen Zhou looked at them with calm eyes and said.

"They will clean it up by themselves, and they will sweep the snow in front of their doors. Where do they need the county government to come forward!" Xiao Li said immediately after hearing the words, "We don't have that many people."

"Uh... that's it! Let them clean up." Shen Zhou said as he looked at them with his black eyes.

"Don't worry, Lord Shen! No one wants their door to be dirty." Xiao Li said with a smile.

"Why do you have dry wood!" Lu Ming asked, looking at the two city gate officers.

"Sir Shen didn't ask for more firewood to be chopped, fortunately, fortunately!" The officer looked at Shen Zhouheng with a smile and complimented him.

"Having said that, this wheat has been received at home, I don't know if it has been dried or not." Xiao Li said worriedly.

"There are only two or three days of sunny days. It's hard to say." Shen Zhouheng raised his eyes and said to them, "I'm still busy with autumn seeds."

"I don't know if they are obedient, but prepare more firewood at home." Lu Ming said worriedly.

"It's hard to say." Shen Zhouheng looked at them helplessly and said.

There is a fluke mentality in things that have no shadow.

"It's raining in a hurry, I'm more worried about what to do if the exposed wheat is not harvested?" Shen Zhou frowned and looked at them and said.

"It's raining urgently, but the dark clouds have been rolling for a while, so the wheat should be harvested." Lu Ming tilted his head slightly to look at him and said, "I only went to my wife when I saw the dark clouds."

Shen Zhou patted his forehead and understood, he and Yaoyao were always in the room, the light itself was dark, and his vision was blocked. When he noticed it, the day turned into night in an instant.

"Fortunately, it came in the evening. If it was in the middle of the night, it would be miserable. I would have rushed away." Xiao Li patted his chest with lingering fears.

"Aren't you going home at night?" Lu Ming asked with his black eyes looking at him.

"This has to be diligent and return home, lazy people! It's hard to say." Xiao Li gave them a look that you understand.

"It's hard to help a lazy person!" Shen Zhou's peach blossom eyes flashed lightly, "Tomorrow, let's count the damage caused by this rain!"

Shen Zhouheng looked at the throbbing flames. Originally, this one was poor and weak, and his foundation was weak. He only hoped that the loss would be small, so that everyone could endure it anyway.

All that was quiet for a moment was the crackling of the fire.

Xiao Li looked at the sergeant at the city gate, then looked at the expressionless Shen Zhouheng, and wisely shut his mouth.

With such big eyes and small eyes, there is still one night left!
Lu Ming said, "Idle is also idle, you are all natives, tell us about the history of Pingyi County! Don't get sleepy and fall asleep."

"Okay!" Xiao Li and the others responded in unison.

In the voice of the ancients, the sky gradually became brighter, and there was nothing to do all night.

The rain gradually stopped, but the day was still a little gloomy, and Shen Zhouheng prayed in his heart: Don't rain any more.

&*&
Early in the summer, the fire is extinguished early.

Shen Zhouheng let the city gate officer open the city gate early and looked at the moat.

Lu Ming said happily, "This water level is not much higher than yesterday."

"This is a good thing, but the water level is higher than usual." Shen Zhouheng squatted down and visually inspected the moat and said, looked back at them and said, "Put the suspension bridge down, let's go to see the East Lake."

"Yes!" The city gate officer responded with hands and hurriedly lowered the suspension bridge.
