Nansheng is the most unfortunate country among the five kingdoms in the world. First, Nansheng destroyed the country, slaughtered the southern barbarians, and then various princes rose up and formed alliances to defeat the barbarians. After more than ten years of war and chaos. The states and counties are in a state of ruin, but from time to time there will be mobs and bandits.
Jiang Pengji has the intention to manage, but this is a long project, and it cannot be solved in three or two days.
Everything needs to be down-to-earth, one step at a time.
After dealing with Hua Yuan's affairs, Jiang Pengji did not rush to take someone out of Ningzhou, because something stumbled her footsteps.
"The flood in Ningzhou is so bad?"
Jiang Pengji and his party were temporarily living in the Ningzhou prefecture. The prefecture here has not been repaired for many years, and it looked like it was inferior to the private houses of ordinary merchants.
Fortunately, the state capital is not a bean curd project, and a little cleaning can still live in people.
Jiang Pengji lived here for two days, and remembered that the prefecture should have files from previous years, which is also the best way to understand the situation in Ningzhou.
She asked people to sort out the archives piled up in the state capital. Everyone was shocked as soon as they opened the warehouse. The piles of documents were piled up in assorted ways, with a thick layer of ash falling on them, and the rancid air inside was choking. gas. It took them two days to move the files out of the warehouse. Many of the files were destroyed by moths. They were sorted out into different categories, and then Jiang Pengji picked them up and looked at them.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it.
There are not only many years of wrongful convictions and false cases, but also a large part of the flood records.
After reading these, Jiang Pengji realized that there are floods in Ningzhou every few years. Jiang Pengji asked Wei Ci and the others to find out the bamboo slips related to flood control, but they found that there were no similar records at all, and many of the contents were perfunctory.
"Zixiao, send someone to find out if there are any people living in Ningzhou, and ask how the water conditions are in each year."
Lu Zheng asked, "Controlling the water is not a short-term effort. It costs a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. How long do you plan to spend here?"
We must prioritize our work. Flood disasters do not occur every year, and they cannot be effectively managed within a year or two.
Jiang Pengji wasted time by staying here, so she might as well do something else and completely control Nan Sheng in her own hands as soon as possible.
If it was delayed for a long time, Zhongzhao's side would relax, and she would have missed the best opportunity to recover Zhongzhao.
Lu Zheng still didn't know what Qi Guanrang and Sun Wen did to Zhongzhao, and the information was not equal, so the thinking was a bit incorrect.
If he knew that these two great gods were stirring up the wind and rain in Zhong Zhao, causing the whole country to be restless, he probably wouldn't have said this.
Jiang Pengji said, "Because the water control is very involved, I am even more worried about handing it over to people I don't know well, for fear that they will not do well. At least... I still need to understand the details, try to be aware of it, and leave it to someone else to deal with without fear of each other. Will be deceived."
There will be no more wars in the short term, Jiang Pengji will try to buy as much time as possible to restore the local people's livelihood, so that the people can settle down.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
As long as the people return to their hearts, she is not afraid that the people in the rear will be pushed into rebellion when fighting on the front line.
Seeing that Jiang Pengji had his own plans, Lu Zheng did not persuade him any more out of trust in her.
After two days of investigation and sorting out, Jiang Pengji basically found out the root cause of the flood in Ningzhou, and immediately became angry and laughed.
"Nansheng's destruction of the country is really his own fault. It can't be entirely on the four Nanman tribes, and his roots are rotten."
If you want to die late, you will die, and the four Nanman tribes will send Nansheng back to the sky early.
The flood in Ningzhou is not due to other factors, but mainly due to the blockage of the river channel and the government condoning the gentry to occupy the riverbed near the flood discharge channel. Some people even transported soil to make land. Coupled with the accumulation of silt in the downstream river channel, the water system in Ningzhou became more and more blocked. In the rainy season, the rain is normal, but once the amount exceeds the normal amount, floods are prone to occur, so that the river floods back and floods the crops…
When the Nansheng Kingdom was not destroyed, Ningzhou allocated a sum of money every year to control the water, and sent people to transport the river regularly. Although there were still cases of corruption and bribery, God saved face, and there were occasional floods, but the scale was not large. Since Nansheng destroyed the country, various states, counties, and counties, on the one hand, suffered from the aggression of the southern barbarians, and on the other hand, they had to face the occupation of the local lords and snakes. Naturally, no one would allocate money to clean up the river.
In the eyes of many people with shallow eyelids, managing a river is like throwing money into a river. Just listen and make no money.
The consequences of doing so soon came. In the more than ten years of war, Ningzhou suffered two major floods and five minor floods. About 10,000 people died, and the value of crops lost over the years was nearly one million tons. According to the villagers' descriptions, the floods in the past few years have gotten worse every time.
Luckily this year, there is not much rainfall in the rainy season, and there is no movement in the river, but it will be uncertain next year.
Jiang Pengji asked people to take her to see the blocked rivers everywhere, and came back to draw a brief picture.
"It is unrealistic to directly manage the main river channel, the time is too late, and the financial resources and manpower are not enough." Jiang Pengji said, "It is better to clean up these tributaries first, expand the river width, and share the pressure of the main channel. Wait until the time is out, and then deal with the main channel. Dredging."
Jiang Pengji circled a few more places and said, "It's better to change these corners, cut them straight, and make the flood discharge smoother."
Lu Zheng didn't have much opinion, "Who does the lord plan to hand it over to?"
The original government offices in Ningzhou had collapsed. Before Jiang Pengji attacked, the internal affairs of Ningzhou were dominated by the local nobility, and it almost became the imperial court. She cleaned up a wave, the worms were killed, but there were no people available...
Jiang Pengji thought for a while and said, "It wasn't that the recruitment order was issued a while ago, the first batch of recruitment has been issued, and a few reliable ones have been selected from them... By the way, the person named Miyu is not bad. I remember her answer sheet has one The question is to simulate how to manage the river. Her hypothetical proposal is quite feasible, and it is not just talk on paper. It can be seen that this person is also a practical person and is worthy of reuse. "
Jiang Pengji's employment has always been regardless of the other party's background or qualifications, but only on the other party's sense of responsibility and ability.
Although this employment system is not in line with this era, Jiang Pengji is the one who sets the rules. Only others obey her, and there is no reason for her to compromise. After a few words, Jiang Pengji decided to hand over the matter of Ningzhou to Mihua, a fledgling newcomer.
"I wrote a letter asking her to come and take office. When she comes, we will leave."
Rao Shi Mihua has confidence in herself, but when this letter of appointment is placed in front of her, she also has the illusion of a dream.
Lord Lanting's decision... Wasn't it a slap in the head and a random decision
