Although Jiang Yan doesn't often stay in coastal cities, he also knows the power of strong winds.
He still remembers Pei Jiao's anxiety when she learned that Xianyu Village had experienced a tsunami. Even he was glad that Xu Ning's family was safe and sound.
So he was very clear about the seriousness of what Xu Ning said about strong winds and heavy rains, and coupled with his filter for Xu Ning, he naturally took it more to heart.
Neither of them had the appetite to eat anymore and hurried to the county government office.
Just at the gate of the county government office, I met a few elderly people who had the same plan.
Several elderly people who arrived earlier were anxiously waiting for notification. Jiang Yi took out the token and walked in with a group of people.
The county magistrate had originally walked to the backyard to rest, but when he heard the experienced old man say that there would be a strong wind, he immediately turned around and walked out. Then he met the servant who came to report that Jiang Yan had visited. After hearing this, he ran away with his official robe in hand.
"Sir, it's going to be windy again!" The old man was about to kneel down when he saw the county magistrate appear, but was stopped by Jiang Yi who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Xu Ning and Jiang Yan were also shocked. The old man was so old that it was dangerous to see him kneeling.
"No need to be polite!" The county magistrate wiped his sweat and asked about the strong wind.
"Sir, do you still remember the flood five or six years ago? The weather was just like tonight!" The old man has lived for so many years, but the thing that left the deepest impression on him was the tsunami that year.
How could the county magistrate forget that he was the unlucky guy sent to clean up the mess? Now, after five or six years, Shanglu County has improved somewhat under his governance, and he is waiting for his superiors to evaluate and promote him in the next year!
How dare he forget such an important thing, otherwise he wouldn't have come out as soon as he heard the news.
"Old man, you don't think this time will be like five or six years ago, do you?" The county magistrate was very nervous. If it happened again, he was afraid that he would not be promoted within ten years. Thinking of this, he almost felt dizzy.
"That's not the case. There was even an earth dragon turning over that time!"
"However, this time the wind is quite strong. My Lord, you should arrange for people to check the reservoir and houses upstream as soon as possible. I'm afraid this strong wind will blow away a lot of things."
"Yes, sir, you don't know. Even if there hadn't been the tsunami and the earthquake five or six years ago, we still have a severe gale every five or six years. At the worst, even cows can be blown away, large trees can be uprooted, and houses are uninhabitable..."
County Magistrate: Is this the reason why there have been no political achievements here?
In this serious atmosphere, Xu Ning saw that the county magistrate looked as if the sky had fallen. He wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back.
Jiang Yan, who had never been paid attention to by the county magistrate, felt relieved after seeing this scene. He could see that the county magistrate was serious about his work.
After the county magistrate finished talking to the old men and sent them out of the county government office, Jiang Yan and Xu Ning spoke to explain their purpose.
When the county magistrate heard that Jiang Yan also came because of the strong wind, he was afraid that Jiang Yan would think that he was not attentive enough, so he listened to everything Jiang Yan said with trepidation.
While they were talking, Xu Ning asked Jiang Yi to prepare a piece of paper for her, and she directly drew the map of Shanglu County on it with charcoal.
Then she painted on it and finally set up shelters in several places she remembered.
It is marked with words such as water source, food, and medicine, and other things that need attention are also written on it.
After Jiang Yan finished talking to the county magistrate, Xu Ning handed the paper to him.
The county magistrate also officially stopped his gaze on Xu Ning, wondering about Xu Ning's identity.
Jiang Yan was amazed after looking at the drawings, and he found that he wanted to take Xu Ning home as soon as possible.
After reviewing the drawings Jiang Yan handed over, the county magistrate marveled at Xu Ning's responsiveness and ingenuity. These methods covered a comprehensive range of solutions for dealing with strong winds, even more detailed than those previously described by the elders.
"I'd like to thank you on behalf of the people of Shanglu County." The county magistrate bowed to Xu Ning, who quickly jumped aside.
"Your Excellency is too polite. I was once a citizen of Shanglu County, so doing this is my duty!"
