Five days later, Li Junyan and Lin Qi successfully arrived in Wanzhou.
This place is close to Shengjiang River.
The Sheng River is dozens of meters wide and stretches across several prefectures.
The Shengjiang River feeds the people on both sides of the river, but every rainy season, it will cause floods, destroying farmland and houses and drowning people.
The people love and hate Sheng Jiang.
Throughout history, no matter how dynasties changed, governing the Shengjiang River has always been a major challenge.
When the current emperor was young, he also gave top priority to the governance of Shengjiang River. He would send people to inspect it every year and allocate money for repairs every year.
But after so many years, the situation has not improved at all.
Now, cement appears.
Logically speaking, the emperor should have it used immediately.
But the emperor is old.
What he was thinking about was no longer how to govern Shengjiang, how to settle the people, or how to protect the farmland.
All he was worried about now was how to keep his throne, how to hold on to the power in his hands, how to live longer, and preferably for thousands of years.
So, will a wise ruler become foolish and incompetent as he gets older?
This idea popped up in Li Junyan's mind, but no one could give him a definite answer.
Li Junyan shook his head gently and drove away all the messy thoughts in his mind.
"Lin Qi, act according to the previous plan." Li Junyan said to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi clasped his hands together and replied, "Yes."
Lin Qi left in a hurry.
Li Junyan spoke softly to Sang Jueqian, "Qianqian, I'm sorry to have to work hard for you."
Sang Jueqian shook his head. "What's so hard about this? I love doing this kind of mysterious things the most!"
That night.
As night fell, the entire state capital was plunged into darkness, with only the night watchmen walking on the streets outside.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the sky, waking everyone up from their dreams.
Those who just woke up were filled with fear and had no idea what had happened.
At this moment, colorful clouds suddenly bloomed in the sky and the sound of heavenly music rang out, making people feel quiet and peaceful, and full of yearning.
The people either opened their windows or came out of their houses and looked up at the sky.
Then I saw a brilliant glow in the sky, and a woman in fairy clothes with fluttering sleeves.
Seeing this scene, all the people were dumbfounded.
Their brains hadn't reacted yet, but their bodies had already reacted subconsciously. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"It's the goddess!"
"The goddess has appeared!"
“Meet the Goddess!
Sang Jueqian didn't say anything in a hurry. After everyone calmed down a little, he slowly said, "This god came to the world only to solve the problem of floods.
The cement has already been lowered, but your emperor still has no seat.
In order to protect you from the suffering of floods, this god has sent cement and craftsmen. You must work together to build the dam and complete it before the rainy season arrives.
Is it possible?"
The people wept with joy and kowtowed again, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Thank you, Goddess!"
"Hail, Goddess!"
Sang Jueqian lowered his eyes, "Where is the governor?"
A middle-aged man hurriedly raised his head and said, "Anzhou Governor Lian Zhiyuan is here."
"Lian Zhiyuan, the craftsman's location is written on a piece of paper. Go find him immediately and follow his instructions."
Lian Zhiyuan picked up the paper ball that fell in front of him and kowtowed heavily, "Yes!"
What needed to be done was done, and what needed to be said was said. Sang Jueqian did not have any reluctance and simply shrank back, then quickly clicked on the lower right corner of the screen and turned off his microphone.
Although this is not the first time she has pretended to be a goddess, it is the first time she has pretended to be so specific.
I didn’t feel anything when I was performing just now, but now I’m so nervous that my heart is pounding.
After carefully watching the situation on the screen and seeing that it took all the people a long time to stand up from the ground, Sang Jueqian smiled with satisfaction.
The previous video was not shot in vain!
The acting is still okay!
Lian Zhiyuan was helped to stand up by the person next to him. Without caring about standing firmly, he hurried back to the room and opened the paper ball in his hand.
There was a line of words written on it, which was slightly different from the words he usually saw. Many of them were missing a lot of strokes, but it looked like no strokes were missing.
Lian Zhiyuan guessed and finally recognized all the words.
"Come here, prepare the car, we are going out this time."
The people below didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Someone went to prepare the car, and someone changed Lian Zhiyuan's clothes for going out.
After a while, Lian Zhiyuan was dressed neatly, sat in the carriage, and headed straight to the address on the note.
The address is not far, just outside the city.
The city gates were not normally open late at night, but since Lian Zhiyuan wanted to go out at this time, no one dared to stop him and immediately opened the gates.
The carriage drove along the official road for half an hour before finally arriving at the destination.
This is a very open wasteland, and not far ahead is a built dam.
This dam is quite old, but because it has been under repair in recent years, it doesn't look broken, but it is definitely not new either.
If I have to describe it, it's like patching a torn piece of clothing with new cloth, which looks weird.
It is neither warm nor beautiful, nor strong.
Because the dam was in this condition, Liao Zhiyuan couldn't eat or sleep since the beginning of spring, and he was worried every day.
I know clearly that such a dam cannot withstand floods, but I can't think of any good solution, so I can only worry every day.
But now it's okay!
