Liu stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, I am a straightforward person and my words may be rash. I hope you will forgive me. But what he said does have some truth. We have some dealings with the Huo family in Fu'an City, so we dare not speak rashly. I hope your Excellency will make a decision soon."
When Lord Liu heard that they were from Jiangnan, he felt that what they said made some sense. When he heard Liu mention the Huo family in Fu'an City, Lord Liu's eyes lit up and his attitude towards them became much more serious.
Sure enough, the identity outside is given by yourself, so you should be bolder and give it a bigger one.
Lord Liu then asked them how to prevent, control and treat floods in Jiangnan.
Liu Yuhan started writing again...
Now that it has rained, it is absolutely necessary to clear the river channels and ditches, especially the lower reaches. Water must not be blocked or allowed to accumulate. Furthermore, clearing ditches in areas where people live will be devastated. Otherwise, the people downstream will suffer.
The city has planned a temporary shelter, and villagers living downstream and nearby can evacuate in advance. Those with dilapidated houses nearby can also seek refuge in the city first.
Riverbank reinforcement: Use stones, sand bags, etc. to reinforce the riverbank.
People should not wander around. If possible, distribute typhoid herbs to the people.
If you come across dead poultry or animals, you should quickly pick them up and bury them deep. If you come across a rotten carcass, you should burn it.
After a flood, if the area was flooded, the streets and houses should be thoroughly cleaned, and the rooms should be fumigated with mugwort. The streets and wells should also be disinfected with lime.
If there are not enough yamen runners to do the work, they can recruit civilians to help. The civilians and yamen runners who do the work must wear face towels and gloves and must not directly touch dead animals, etc.
After seeing them off, Lord Liu hurriedly instructed the others to leave. "Now that the rain is light, hurry up and do it."
When there were not enough people, they would beat drums and gongs to recruit people from the people, paying them silver and providing them with food and lodging.
The mother and daughter returned to their residence, and not long after, they heard the sound of gongs coming from the streets and alleys, and people were shouting about the government recruiting people as they walked.
The villagers asked the village chief, who, after consulting with the elders, agreed that it was feasible. The hunters, strong men, and strong young men set out, totaling about 80 people from the two villages.
The village chief told them to be careful, run away if they saw danger, and come back and tell everyone if anything happened.
80 people wearing straw raincoats and carrying hoes walked towards the government office.
Poor people living in the south city or victims fleeing famine also walked towards the government office one after another.
