She traveled through the book to become the prince's concubine? She chose to be the villain!

Chapter 220: County Magistrate Qin

Although this answer was sincere, Tang Mingchen still felt uneasy.

There are so many poor people, why should we help him instead of helping others?

After all, it’s because that guy looks good, one could even say he’s adorable!

"Mei'er, if you want to help him, I have no objection, but you can't pity him. A woman must never pity a man!

Men are the best at pretending to be pitiful. They just want women to never forget them.

How can a real man be so weak? Wang Huaijin may seem to have suffered a lot, but in fact, he will have a smooth career in the future! "

Liu Rumei smiled. He actually knew a lot.

"Then are you pitiful? Don't I feel sorry for you too? Are you pretending too?"

Tang Mingchen was suddenly speechless. After all, he had actually had such thoughts before.

He wasn't pretending to be pitiful, but every time he talked about his past, Mei'er looked distressed, which made him understand something.

So, now no matter whether he was hurt or feeling sad, he couldn't help but act coquettishly with Mei'er, hoping that she would care about him more.

This is completely different. He is the one Mei'er likes, so it's okay to win a little sympathy!

Wang Huaijin can’t do it!

He is a foreigner, absolutely not allowed!

Look, men are so double-standard!

"I'm not pretending to be pitiful. Everything I said is true. Mei'er, you love me, so you can't bear to see me suffer.

But you absolutely cannot share this kind of love with another man... No, you can't share it with a woman either!"

Liu Rumei was speechless. This guy had become very good at tea art recently, and he had figured out all the twists and turns.

"Okay, I promise. I'll give you all my sympathy. No one else can get it. Be good."

Tang Mingchen was very satisfied with the answer and held the person in his arms for a long time without letting go.

He doesn’t know there’s a saying that goes, a woman’s mouth can be deceiving!

Liu Rumei not only felt sympathy for Wang Huaijin, but just because of that face that looked like her friend, she couldn't just ignore Wang Huaijin.

But now that she has Tang Mingchen, she has never thought of letting him down.

So she will do her best to help Wang Huaijin, but other than that, she definitely has no other thoughts.

She couldn't say that. Tang Mingchen was a jealous person. If something really went wrong, it would be difficult for her to clean up the mess.

"By the way, what did he say? It's been raining in the south."

Tang Mingchen stared at Liu Rumei seriously and said, "Mei'er's calculations are indeed very accurate. The heavy rain in the south has lasted for five days."

Liu Rumei couldn't help but sigh. Yes, there was drought in the north and heavy rain in the south. Life was really unbearable.

The little bit of food she collected was really not enough!

She had prepared food for the disaster victims early on, and later she bought a lot of food for other uses.

"I hope everything goes well. As long as the heavy rain does not destroy the river channel, there will be no flooding. That will be a relief."

When Wang Huaijin left, she had a water control strategy in her hand, which she had specially found out from the space.

Tang Mingchen also attached great importance to Wang Huaijin. Since they were going south secretly, he gave him dozens of guards, so he thought there shouldn't be any big problems.

……

Wang Huaijin was standing halfway up the mountain, his raincoat already wet.

He frowned tightly and looked at the lake in the distance.

The water level of the lake is gradually rising. It wasn't so obvious when I saw it in the morning, but now it is almost full.

"Sir, this reservoir is about to be full, what should we do?"

The person standing next to him was not someone else, but the local magistrate Qin.

It stands to reason that the county magistrate would never listen to the advice of a scholar, but Wang Huaijin has the token of the King of Leisure, so the county magistrate would not dare to offend Tang Mingchen no matter how brave he is.

Besides, now that the heavy rain has suddenly come, he can be considered convinced.

Wang Huaijin had told him before that there would be heavy rain within three days, and the rain would not stop easily once it started.

He had also seen such a situation in the local county annals. If the heavy rain continued for more than five days, they would be in danger.

He was waiting with doubt, but he didn't expect that the rainstorm really came and lasted for such a long time.

At this point, he was well aware of Wang Huaijin's abilities.

So, ten days ago, when Wang Huaijin had people dig a river channel and store water in a deep lake, he did not stop them.

Now that it is raining heavily, he also wants to ask Wang Huaijin for a solution.

Flood control is a big deal, he doesn’t know anything about it, so he can only ask for help.

Moreover, he could serve King Xian, which was a blessing he could never ask for.

That is why the county magistrate now asks what to do.

Wang Huaijin looked deeply into the distance. He really shouldn't be optimistic.

Before he came here, Miss Liu had told him that this heavy rain would last for about seven days.

The river embankment, which had been in disrepair for many years, would definitely not be able to withstand the damage, so after arriving, the first thing he did was to repair the river embankment.

However, building a river embankment requires a large amount of money. He spent all the money but did not achieve the desired effect.

Later, the eldest master of the Zhou family also came and helped with all his might, and the river embankment was barely repaired.

But even so, he knew very well in his heart that he had to make preparations for both situations.

This year it was really rushed and it was not easy to support the river embankment, so he built a flood storage area according to what was taught in the book.

He had chosen this lake carefully, but now it seemed not enough.

So he has one last step!

However, this step would result in heavy losses, and he would not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

"We need to release the flood water! Mr. Magistrate, you need to notify the people in the city to relocate as a whole."

When County Magistrate Qin heard this, he was completely paralyzed!

No way!

If this is the case, then his tenure as county magistrate is over!

"Master Wang, this is no joke. There are 30,000 people in my entire county. Do you want them to abandon their homes and leave their hometown? This is impossible!"

Yes, do you want the people to abandon their homes and businesses and leave their homeland?

This is indeed not an easy thing to do, but if we don’t do it, the consequences will be even more serious.

"My Lord Magistrate, this lake can't hold out for two days. Once the water bursts its banks, all the people in the city will be stranded.

You are the county magistrate. Do you want to watch all your people drown in the flood?

Not to mention, we are now taking the initiative to dig it up in order to protect the people living upstream and downstream.

Although Shanyang County will suffer losses by doing so, all the places on both sides of the river can be preserved!"

County Magistrate Qin was a little hesitant. Is this really the only way?

“Do we have to dig it up now?”

"Don't delay! Otherwise it will be too late! When the prince knows about this matter, he will naturally support it and will never blame you.

The people know that you saved their lives. Naturally, they are grateful and will never complain! "

Wang Huaijin analyzed all these things, but the county magistrate was still hesitant.

It is a credit if this thing is done well, but who can prove that the decision you made was right?

"Master Wang, it's not that I won't do this, but who can prove that there will really be a flood if we don't dig up the river bank?"
