The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"The main thing is to think about how to arrange for the people who will continue to return to Linying." Li Fu said, "People's hearts."

Li Fu was also worried that there would be problems with too many people and it would be difficult to control.

At present, these people in Linying are all people who survived the flood and stayed in their hometown. They have gone through hardships together.

Those who had escaped before, turned back and found that houses had been built here, there was food and drink, and everything was restored in order. They wanted to stay.

If they stayed, they would definitely rebuild houses and reorganize farmland.

The government would also remeasure the farmland.

Then those who had worked hard here saw that these people had not worked hard and naturally obtained land. Would they feel unbalanced?

How to balance people's hearts also needs to be carefully thought out, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.

Li Fu hoped more than anyone else that during the period of reconstruction of Linying County, everything would be peaceful and smooth, and things would be done perfectly.

As for the future, when these people have retired, how the people get along with each other is the government's business.

Up to now, the court has not sent local officials to Linying County.

The original local officials died in the flood, and the court must reward them.

Trees leave shadows, people leave names.

The parents of the officials died because they alerted the people of the whole city, and the court must commend them and set a model.

They should be the role models of officials. If such good deeds are not publicized, the officials of the court who do this job can be dismissed.

Yan Lide thought carefully and could figure out the other problems that Li Fu was worried about. After all, he had been an official for so many years, and he still had this brain. It was not difficult for him to understand that Li Fu had thought of it.

"There are still many things to do in Linying County, but there is no need to worry for the time being. After all the disaster victims here are settled, the rest who return to Linying may have to rely on themselves for most things." Yan Lide said: "We can't stay here for too long, especially you. Maybe by the end of the year, the court will call us all back."

"Yes." Jiang Que also responded: "And, I think Linying will soon have a parent official who can take over our overall situation."

Local official positions are one person per job. Officials who have gained experience in the local area and have qualifications will be promoted more easily when they enter the court.

Linying County is a place where they have laid a good foundation. As long as the officials who come here are not outrageous, they will not make too many mistakes. As long as they can restore Linying County to its former appearance, it will be a political achievement.

"Jiang Shaojiang is right. The future development of this place still depends on the actions of the local officials. We will not stay here forever." Yan Lide smiled and said, "Therefore, there is no need to consider the long-term for the time being. We should take care of the present first."

Li Fu nodded.

"Well, you are right." Li Fu nodded in response.

In this way, he was relieved.

After all, he sat in the tent and thought about it for an afternoon, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of industry to build here to suit the local people.

Wu Liangye went to inquire about the news, but he hasn't come back yet.

It's late, where can he run to.

Next, Li Fu discussed tomorrow's affairs with Yan Lide and Jiang Que.

There is no problem. After having a goal, just work hard in that direction.

The river embankment on Jiang Que's side has been reinforced for such a long time, and it has been effective. At least even if there is another heavy rain now, the river will not be in danger of bursting the embankment.

Jiang Que patted his chest and promised Li Fu.

"Then, in addition to natural disasters, was there any man-made disaster behind the original river breach?" Li Fu asked.

"This..." Jiang Que hesitated.

It's hard to say.

In theory, the court is very concerned about water conservancy projects. Every year, local officials will inspect the river. If they find any problems, they will report to the court and request the court to allocate funds and send officials to manage the river.

In Linying County, since the county magistrate can sacrifice himself to save the people, he will not be an official who doesn't care about the river.

In this case, why is there still a problem with the river?

"According to the normal situation of the river here, it needs to be dredged and the river bank needs to be reinforced, but the actual situation is probably more complicated." Jiang Que said.

His words were very euphemistic.

But Li Fu heard it.

There is something wrong with the river.

"Some old people in Linying should know when the last time the Ying River built a river bank and dredged the river was?" Li Fu frowned and asked, "I have to ask someone tomorrow. If it is really due to poor local governance, there is a story behind this."

Yan Lide shook his head slightly."Your Highness, the father and mother of this place has died. It's meaningless to talk about it anymore." Yan Lide said.

He didn't want Li Fu to investigate this matter. If he did, if he really found something, the final target would definitely be Chang'an City.

Your Majesty has been in power for a year, so these problems are probably left over from the Wude period.

It's not easy to investigate, and it's not easy to deal with.

In the end, Li Fu was sad, and so was His Majesty.

"The river channel was dredged and the river bank was reinforced. There would be records in the local county annals, but it was all gone after a flood. The last time I remember the Ying River burst its bank was during the Daye period. Since then, it should have been repaired." Jiang Que said.

"Your Highness, this time the Ying River burst its banks, and Jiang Shaojiang led people to dredge and repair it. Don't pursue this matter any further." Yan Lide bowed and said, "During the Wude period, there were many mistakes in politics and law, local officials were in disorder, and the world was not peaceful. The court was powerless in many things, so there is no need to pursue it."

Li Fu heard this and agreed with Yan Lide's words.

"How many years can the river be protected after the river is dredged and the river bank is reinforced this time?" Li Fu asked.

He didn't know about these things, so he was curious and wanted to ask.

Jiang Que shook his head.

"I'm not sure." Jiang Que said, "It depends on the annual rainfall, plus the living conditions of the people on both sides of the river, and the situation upstream. The impact on the downstream is the greatest. I'm afraid that there will be no second Dujiangyan in the world today."

Li Fu sighed slightly. What else can he do? In the future, local officials will check every year, and deal with the hidden dangers as soon as they are found, and don't delay.

No matter who it is, they don't want Sanjian Linying, right?

The people of Linying suffered too much.

Fortunately, the address of the new city is quite a bit to the south, and there is a buffer zone in the middle.

However, the terrain of the plain is so flat that no matter how much buffer there is, it will not be enough.

All we can say is that the Ying River can be kept stable and not burst its banks again.
