The city.
Governor Zhang opened the lunch box again and took out a thick stack of papers from it.
This is the "Water Control Strategy" compiled by Li Qingzhi based on the manuscript left by Li Zhao.
He didn't have time to eat and looked at it impatiently.
This book contains a lot of things, such as how to prevent plague after a flood.
Some of the practices mentioned in the book were unheard of by him, but after the book briefly explained the reasons for doing so, he immediately realized that it was the right thing to do.
Dealing with floods according to this book can really reduce losses and save more lives!
This is a good book and also a strange book.
Governor Zhang thought that this book was worth reading and memorizing repeatedly. He also thought that students who wanted to become officials and were taking the imperial examinations should read this book.
He had only read the beginning of this book a few days ago, and he already felt sorry for Li Zhao.
When he finished reading... Governor Zhang sighed.
Thinking that Li Zhao had passed away five years ago, he felt indescribably melancholy. After a long time, he called his confidant and asked him to copy it and then send it to the Shen family.
When Governor Zhang's confidant was copying "Record of Escape from Famine", he would ask Governor Zhang a few questions, such as how a lonely man could write so fast, but now, he asked nothing.
He just wanted to copy the book quickly and print it quickly.
Hexingfu is a good place, but there are floods from time to time. In fact, six years ago, some places in Hexingfu were flooded.
It's just that this place is densely covered with water networks and is close to the sea, so even if a flood occurs, the water will recede relatively quickly, unlike some places where the flood takes a long time to recede after it comes.
Anyway, it's great to have a book that tells people what to do after a flood!
"The Strategies for Flood Control" discusses ways to prevent floods, but also states that floods are beyond human control. What it writes about most is how to carry out disaster relief after a disaster, and how to prevent and care for common diseases after floods, such as cholera, typhoid fever, and dysentery.
The people around Governor Zhang copied it and sent it to the Shen family quickly.
The head of the Shen family is already waiting.
His fleet was already ready and was supposed to set out in two days.
The reason why I have not set out yet is that I want to print the "Flood Control Strategy".
Ten thousand copies of The Record of Escaping from Famine have been printed and are being bound, but The Strategy for Controlling Floods… has not been finished yet.
Every day the fleet was delayed would result in a loss of a lot of money, but even so, he still planned to wait for Qiongdusanren to finish writing the book and for him to print the book before setting off.
The head of the Shen family had read both "The Record of Escape from Famine" and "The Plan for Flood Control".
He considered himself a cold-hearted person, but when he read "The Escape from Famine", he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Especially when they saw the people inside waiting with great anticipation for the government to provide disaster relief, but in the end got nothing.
Besides… when he read “The Record of Escape from Famine”, he felt that Li Zhao, the magistrate of Yu County, was a good person, and then… “The Strategy of Flood Control” came out!
There is no doubt that Li Zhao was a very capable but good official.
What a pity that such an official was beheaded and his entire family was executed!
