Jing Li really didn't notice it, and even if he did, he might not understand it: "What is he looking at?"
Qin Zhao said, "Essentials of Water Control."
Jing Li: “…”
He understood.
It seems that they are not the only ones who are worried about the flood.
After waiting for less than a cup of tea, a tall and thin man in a light blue gown walked quickly into the main room.
The two men stood up, and before they could say anything, the man walked straight up to Qin Zhao and bowed to him: "My surname is Pei, and my given name is An. Mr. Qin, you have come from afar, so I hope you will not be offended by my neglect."
Qin Zhao and Jing Li exchanged glances and returned the greeting: "I don't deserve it."
Pei An asked again: "Mr. Qin is very knowledgeable and has an extraordinary bearing. I wonder where he is now?"
"Just an ordinary farmer in the village."
Pei An was obviously a little surprised: "But from the blueprints you drew, I see that you understand the art of flood control. Haven't you passed the imperial examination yet?"
"Not yet." Qin Zhao said calmly, "I've only read a few books in my spare time."
Pei An's expression suddenly became extremely interesting.
We all study, so why is there such a big gap between people?
He led the two of them to sit down, had a servant refill the tea, and then slowly said, "I won't beat around the bush, sir. Floods have been frequent in recent years, and next month is the flood season. The higher-ups have issued an order to the county, ordering my master to prevent and control flooding downstream. If he fails, I'm afraid he'll lose his position as an official."
"...My master has been troubled by this matter lately. He has read many books but still can't find a solution. Since you know about flood control, I wonder if you would be willing to stay at the county government office and lend a hand to my master?"
Qin Zhao didn't rush to answer.
Seeing his doubts, Pei An said, "Sir, don't worry. I have discussed the matter of Linxi Village with you. I will send someone there today to repair the embankment as soon as possible."
"Also, if you can successfully prevent and control the flood, my lord will reward you handsomely!"
The author has something to say: Ahhhh I’m so stuck_(:з」∠)_
I'm going to continue writing the next chapter, but don't get your hopes up, I may not be able to finish it tonight.

ps: "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and is surrounded by other stars." This is from "The Analects of Confucius: On Government". The sentence "A minister should serve his ruler with loyalty" is also from the Analects.
