Chapter 303 Busy Busy Busy
Busy, busy, busy!
It is not easy to be a seventh-rank Du Shui Lang.
Liang Qu walked without stopping, packed the albums and books in a cloth bag and ran out of the study and downstairs, passing by many Hebo officials who had rushed over.
Through the sound of rain, Liang Qu could hear Wei Dati, the leader in the next building, also getting angry.
It was terrible! Both of them were furious.
Liang Qu roughly understood the reason.
All built dams are accompanied by hydrological stations, where people are specifically responsible for looking after the water regulations.
The Shuize Stele is divided into the "Left Shuize Stele" and the "Right Shuize Stele".
The Zuoshuize Monument records the highest water levels over the years.
The Youshuize Stele records the highest water level in each decade and month of the year.
They were all carved on the stone pillars with knives, making them extremely eye-catching.
There are water monuments on both sides. Whenever the water level is higher than the warning line, the hydrological station needs to send an alarm to the county government and the river and lake branch office, and the river and lake branch office will then report the alarm to the river and lake office in Pingyang County.
Liangqu is no longer a small river god.
During the time of He Bo, he did whatever his superiors told him to do. He didn't even know the overall plan and had no right to take the blame.
Now as a seventh-rank Du Shui Lang, if there had been an early warning, Liang Qu should not have been unaware of it.
"Either there was gross negligence on the part of the hydrological station, or there were human subjective factors."
Liang Qu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Either way, the situation is serious.
When they arrived at the gate of the yamen, Yan Qingshan and others had just arrived. They were half-stepping on the stirrups and were about to dismount when Liang Qu called them back up.
"No need to dismount! The four of you should hurry to Pingyang County! Call all the river officials above to come over and meet up at Liang's residence!"
Liang Qu handed over the album that Li Shoufu had sent yesterday, with the address written on it.
"Yes!"
So, Yan Qingshan took the album and the four of them set off again.
Liang Qu hurried back to the house and put on his armor.
Fu Bo Spear, Black Iron Bow, Arm Guard, Sturgeon Demon Skin Inner Armor.
Floods will inevitably lead to chaos, and chaos will lead to evil!
Along the way, there are no shortage of bandits and villains who burn, kill and loot because of the floods!
The pond was full of ripples.
Heavy rains hit the sky and the construction of the ship was suspended.
Beavers and otters were lying on the water with nothing to do.
"If I had known this, I should have changed the blueprints and built the ship first."
Liang Qu suddenly thought of encircling and suppressing the Ghost Mother Sect. Most of the fleets in the Hebo Station headed north to transport important artifacts such as the Black Dragon Wanfang Ding, and the ship dispatch was tight.
That is to say, if you travel by water, you can only use your own small boat.
But there is no time to regret.
"Old Bei, I'm going to be away for a while, and the fat catfish have to come with me. You have to keep an eye on the guys in the pond.
If you encounter any trouble, go find the master in the west wing. In a while, craftsmen will come to dig a pond. Don't leave. I will have them dig it and then break through the wall."
"Go with peace of mind!"
The old giant clam made Liang Qu feel at ease.
It has lived for thousands of years and remains steady and stable.
Liang Qu rushed to the west wing again.
"Master, is there any new progress in the Yogacara school?"
The old monk shook his head.
"Okay, Master, take some rest."
Liang Qu closed the door and left, then heard the old monk in the house calling him.
The old monk turned his rosary beads and said, "It's not that I intentionally eavesdropped, but the shouting was very loud earlier. Was there a flood in Huazhu County?"
"Yes." Liang Qu nodded, "But don't worry, Master. I'll go over and check the situation right away. There are floods in the Jianghuai area almost every year. The Hebo Bureau has a lot of experience, so it will definitely be better before winter."
People in Jianghuai and other places have become experts in flood control after years of suffering from the disease, and their expertise in flood control is far beyond the reach of people in Beiting.
"Good! Please be careful, benefactor."
"Master, don't worry. If I encounter danger, I will jump into the flood and no one can catch me." Liang Qu patted his chest.
It's a great feeling to have a powerful person at home, so I don't have to worry about anything, and I feel comfortable when I go out to do things.
After giving the orders, there was no sign of Yan Qingshan.
"Why is it so slow..."
No wonder Xu Yuelong was angry, Liang Qu himself couldn't help it.
Seeing that they had not arrived, he jumped on his horse and ran to Yang's residence to inform his master and his mistress.
Xu's eyebrows were filled with worry: "Flood, you have to be more careful, water and fire are merciless."
"Don't worry, Master's wife. Fire and water are merciless to ordinary people. A martial artist can hold his breath underwater for 25 minutes. I grew up in the water, so if I encounter danger..."
Liang Qu repeated to Xu what he had said to the old monk.
Before leaving, Yang Dongxiong stopped Liang Qu.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"I'm not giving you an order. I'm just telling you that the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Seven Killing Spear's 45th and 2nd Styles have been found. Do you want them?"
Liang Qu's eyes lit up.
The first move of the Qinglong Spear Technique, Leaping into the Abyss, is his first perfect move, and the first three moves alone can be classified as top-notch martial arts of the upper-middle grade. When used, it can even split the brain of a giant monster in one blow.
Such performance made him quite satisfied with the spear skills that Master Yang had seized from the battlefield.
I didn't expect that my master had been helping me find the whereabouts of the other parts.
"Of course." Liang Qu thought for a moment, "What are your requirements?"
"The other party asked for a precious plant in exchange. I looked through the list of the Hebo Office and found it in the Great Merit Exchange Book. You came here today just in time to ask if you want to exchange it."
Yang Dongxiong's knife and gun skills were acquired by chance and he had never deliberately sought them before.
After Liang Quzhu learned the spear technique, Yang Dongxiong also became interested in this martial art. He inquired about the whereabouts of the other moves through his connections. In June, he got some clues. Yesterday, he got the definite news. He contacted the other party and read the opening chapter sent to him. He knew it must be correct.
"How many great merits does Baozhi need?"
"One."
"Change!"
In Hebo's office, any advanced martial arts skills require great achievements to be exchanged.
One great achievement in exchange for four or five taels of top-notch martial arts is not a loss.
"I'll have someone tell the chief clerk of the Hebo Office, and the rest will be decided by Master!"
"Okay, the other party is in a hurry, so I'll wait for you to come back and see the result."
"Thank you Master!"
Liang Qu clasped his fists.
I didn't expect to hear such good news before leaving.
Liang Qu had no time to go to the martial arts gym, so he turned around and went home.
There were many river officials on the streets beating drums and gongs, hanging river flags, and posting notices to warn villagers of the possibility of flooding and to take preventive measures in advance.
Huazhu County is not too far from Pingyang County, so there is a risk of being affected and early preparations are needed.
After returning home, Yan Qingshan and others stood in the courtyard.
Many people have not yet calmed down, it seems the timing is just right.
"My Lord, the roster."
Yan Qingshan handed over the album, and Liang Qu took it and glanced at it.
There were three River Gods, nine River Chiefs, and twenty-four River Officials, a total of thirty-six people.
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were standing in the crowd, and the tall Kou Zhuang was even more conspicuous.
Time was tight and there was no time to reminisce. Liang Qu briefly explained the reason and unfolded the disaster-prone map of the past given to him by Hebo.
He circled a meeting place for everyone and gave them some general instructions. Liang Qu only left two river chiefs and twelve river officials on duty in the three towns and eight villages. The rest of the people all set off for Huazhu County as soon as possible.
The thirty-six people were ordered to disperse.
After finishing the work, Liang Qu rushed to the port with Chishan without stopping, and went to Huazhu County for disaster relief ahead of his subordinates.
Water routes are much slower than land routes.
Xu Yuelong set the date at midnight tomorrow, probably because he wanted Liang Qu, who had the dragon-blood horse, to travel by land.
But Liang Qu felt that it would be faster to go by water.
