"Sigh! What can I do in this heavy rain?"
Magistrate Tang almost lost his composure in front of Clerk Li, which made him look like a young master from the Tang family of the Duke's Mansion in the capital. He really wanted to burst into tears or scratch his head a few times. Moreover, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that being a county magistrate would lead to this situation, he would have been better off staying in the capital and being a playboy!
Money can't buy hindsight, and there's no going back. Magistrate Tang is already Magistrate Tang.
"Sir, the rain is too heavy right now, and we can't do anything about it. Why don't we wait until the rain subsides a bit or stops, and then send people down to the towns and villages to find out the situation? We can analyze the problem then and find a solution!"
Master Li could only try his best to persuade him, fearing that this young master from the Duke's mansion might quit, and he would also suffer the consequences. Magistrate Tang might only lose his position, but what the consequences would be for him was really uncertain.
He couldn't help but touch the back of his neck, feeling a chill in it.
"Sigh! When will this rain stop? Tell me your thoughts first!"
Magistrate Tang sat dejectedly in his chair, listening listlessly to the torrential rain outside, his anxiety unabated.
"Yes, sir!"
Master Li recounted the methods for managing floods that occurred after heavy rains, which he had been reading in the books over the past two days.
Magistrate Tang suppressed his inner rage and listened attentively to Li Shiye's words, also considering the feasibility of these methods in Caolu County based on Li Shiye's advice.
He was a son of a duke's family in the capital, and he had his own pride. Otherwise, why would he give up being a proper young master and ignore his family's arrangements to become the county magistrate of this godforsaken Caolu County? He wouldn't be so easily defeated!
So what if there might be floods? The drought is over! The locust plague is over! If this flood can also pass by, then these disasters can become a glorious chapter in his resume. During his tenure as the magistrate of Caolu County, Tang Shishu experienced three serious natural disasters!
Once you understand this, your mindset changes.
Tang Shishu not only listened attentively to the various examples that Li Shiye had brought back, but also summoned the county magistrate and the county assistant to discuss different solutions to the various problems that might be encountered later.
County Commandant, County Assistant: (*￣m￣)
What can they do?
But they couldn't disobey the magistrate's orders!
Although they each had their own ideas, those things couldn't be discussed openly. Moreover, if a flood really occurred, their ideas would remain just ideas, and whether the ball around their necks could stay there peacefully would depend on their county magistrate!
Besides actively cooperating with the county magistrate, what other options do they have?
Therefore, the two of them began to actively cooperate with Magistrate Tang, sincerely hoping for the first time that Magistrate Tang could come up with a solution and successfully overcome this disaster.
Magistrate Tang: (#-.-)
This was the first time these two people had cooperated with him so well!
However, he wasn't in a good mood. But it was better for the county magistrate and county constable to be like this than to be against him. At this moment, he really had no mood to play hide-and-seek with these two. Lives were at stake!
