Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 327 Nothing to do

The captain rowed the boat into the fleet, moving forward side by side with the two large ships, breaking through the waves.

After checking, it was found that Fan Zixuan, Yan Qingshan, Yan Chongwen... a group of river and lake officials looked around in confusion.

Large ships over five meters long were arranged in a staggered pattern, one ship next to another, one gangway next to another, and the gaps underneath were filled with fishing boats. Thousands of sails were competing with each other, and the boats were intertwined. The entire fleet was so mighty that it stretched for more than two miles!
They were like a group of lost ants, at a loss as to what to do around a huge, dangerous water snake.

On the mast, the fighter who was looking in the wind direction saw the approaching ship and raised the red flag and the green flag, which flashed three times alternately.

The strong boatman propped up the boat with a long pole and slowly pushed the boat to the side of the ship.

Yan Qingshan and others discovered at this time that many boats were towing a long "tail" behind them, which was a floating bridge made of wooden boards and ropes. As the ships rose and fell, countless bubbles were squeezed out between the wooden boards.

The plank worker grabbed the rope and slid down from the cabin. He ran to the side of the boat, threw down the rope ladder, and shouted to the people on the boat.

"My Lords, Lord Liang has been waiting for a long time, please come aboard!"

Cha Qing took the lead, grabbed the rope ladder and climbed onto the deck, and the others followed.

The ship Liang Qu was on was the largest in the fleet.

Standing at the bow and looking out, everyone could see even more clearly the magnificence of the fleet.

The Yan brothers leaned on the railing and thought about the huge ginkgo tree that used to be in their martial arts hall.

The martial arts field, which had been compacted by heavy hammers, was covered with withered yellow leaves. When the wind blew, hundreds of ginkgo leaves fluttered in unison.

The small ones rotate fast, the big ones rotate slowly, and there is order in the tightness.

This is probably the scene we see right now.

No wonder Liang Qu wasn't in a hurry to find someone...

Not to mention anything else, there are at least several hundred sailors and captains coming and going on the ship, so there is plenty of manpower.

Everyone looked at each other, obviously thinking the same thing.

"Several adults, please come in."

The cedar board worker bowed and immediately took the lead, and everyone rushed into the cabin.

The cabin is open from north to south, with windows on both sides fully open, allowing grayish-white skylight to shine in.

The first thing that caught the eye was a spear, hanging horizontally on the Lanqi, with a black-golden light flowing on the blade.

The spear was clearly hung on the right side of the cabin, but it was so conspicuous, more eye-catching than the object in the middle.

What a great gun!
Several people turned their eyes away from the spears.

In the middle of the cabin is an extremely wide square table, on which is a huge sand table that is a meter long.

Liang Qu was standing in front of the square table, inserting small flags of different colors onto the sand table one by one.

In the corner of the cabin, two carpenters were hammering with chisels, replicating a smaller sand table.

"Come on, come and see."

When Liang Qu saw Cha Qing and others, he waved his hand to signal everyone to come forward without any greeting.

Everyone gathered around and found that the sand table was made of wood, and was uneven, with small hills standing in many places, and was filled with green, yellow, red and blue flags.

"Huangshan...Shaheshan..."

Chaqing noticed the names marked on several hills.

Judging from the names of several key places, the sand table is obviously a replica of the terrain of Huazhu County.

After searching for a while, they could still see the small mound where they had been before, slightly raised on the flat ground.

Yan Chongwen asked, "The topography of Huazhu County?"

"More than that." Cha Qing shook his head and pointed to the sand table, "This side, that side, is the area of ​​Jiangling County and Taogu County."

Liang Qu nodded and looked at Li Libo: "Libo, go outside and fetch me a pot of flood water!"

Li Libo went out upon hearing the noise, and when he came back, he was holding a clay jar filled with light yellow liquid with a slight earthy smell.

Liang Qu took the pottery jar and poured water towards the collapsed "Qiugong Dike" in the southwest corner of the sand table.

The pale yellow water tide rushed out and washed into the entire "Huazhu County".

When the flood spread most of the way and faintly overlapped with a circle of black lines around the sand table, Liang Qu lifted the mouth of the tank and the water flow stopped.

"What you see is basically the current flooding area. The boat is shaking violently, so just make do with it."

“Red and yellow flags represent the severity of the disaster?”

Chen Jiechang was a keen observer and he found that the water was deeper where the red flag was raised, and shallower where the yellow flag was raised.

After checking, he found a small green flag near the small mound where he and his companions were originally located, and guessed, "Is the green flag the nearest resettlement point for disaster victims?"

"Blue, is this the fleet's location?"

Fan Zixuan pointed to the current location where he and others were, where a blue flag was flying.

"That's right! On the sand table, green flags represent relief points, red flags represent the worst-hit areas, yellow flags represent areas that have been affected but to a lesser degree, and blue flags represent areas where large fleets gather."

"Why are there two red flags here even though the water is shallow? And here, even though the terrain is high, there are also red flags?"

Fan Zixuan pointed to two small places on the sand table.

Liang Qu pointed to a place further ahead: "Because there is a mountain in front of it, the flood spread here and was split into 70% and 70% of it was flooded. As for the high-lying place, because the surrounding terrain is higher, the high water level inside is not only caused by the flood, but also by the heavy rain in the past few days.

I built the sand table to facilitate your understanding, observation, and action, but the sand table is not completely consistent with reality. Pouring water cannot accurately restore the actual situation. Otherwise, the river and mooring station would not need us to explore everywhere. Moreover, the boat is shaking violently. "

Liang Qu lifted a corner of the sand table, and the water level at the position of the two red flags rose slightly.

Cha Qing understood the meaning of Liang Qu's words and asked, "Your Excellency means that you have sent people to investigate?"

If we don’t actually send people to investigate, how can we know which places to put up red flags?

"almost."

Liang Qu had naturally investigated, but he did not send real people.

He used geomancy maps and information sent back by animals such as the fat catfish to make very detailed annotations on a basically proportional replica of the sand table on the extent of the disaster in the entire Huazhu County and several nearby counties.

Everyone suddenly fell into self-doubt.

Forming a fleet and exploring the disaster-stricken area, it seems that all of them have to be investigated on the spot. Can these two extremely time-consuming and laborious tasks really be completed in one day?

With this amount of time, I’m afraid it’s only enough for a person to travel from east to west and back again?

Find out why your heart is beating faster.

I really followed the right person!

What does it mean if your boss has a background, strength, and powerful abilities?
Following a boss like this, why worry about not making contributions?
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

I'm so lucky to be in the same circle!

Fan Zixuan's face flushed, and he bowed and said, "Since you have basically assembled the rescue forces that can be mobilized in the county, and the scope of the disaster has been roughly determined, do you want us to investigate the breach of the dam next?"

Not only Fan Zixuan, but several other Hebo and Hechang thought so.

Two of the three major tasks were completed, leaving only the last one, investigating the damaged dam. That would have to be left to myself and others, and it had to be done well.

After finding out the truth, he was very excited and said immediately: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to find out the reason for the damage to the dike!"

Fan Zixuan followed closely behind: "That's right, sir, just give your orders!"

There was a response from everyone in the cabin.

Unexpectedly, Liang Qu rejected it outright.

"No! What you need to do now is to lead a fleet each, follow the markings on the sand table I gave you, and go to other places for rescue! Transfer the victims, maintain order, and distribute food.

If necessary, send people to help the big households build porridge sheds, and dig holes in flooded fields to drain the floodwaters!"

After finding out the truth, his thoughts faltered and he could not help but say, "Why not investigate the cause of the dam collapse? Sir, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but when it comes to saving lives, a few more or a few less people will not make a decisive difference."

"The investigation is complete, and the person has been caught." Liang Qu's face was calm, and his toes tapped the floor lightly. "The culprit is imprisoned in the cabin under your feet. When the escort arrives, I will hand him over personally."

"???"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

There was a moment of dead silence.

"Could you please lift your feet?"

"Oh, sorry."

Kou Zhuang hurriedly raised his foot.

The old man who was carving the sand table picked up the chisel on the ground, blew away the wood chips on the board, and continued carving.

The solidified air circulates again.

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

Fan Zixuan stretched his neck to try to confirm.

"Why would I lie to you?" Liang Qu had no intention of explaining and shouted, "Check it out. It's Fan Zixuan and Yan Qingshan!"

"I am your humble servant! *3"

“The three of you lead a team with a sand table and go to the deck to find an old man with a mouth full of rotten teeth.

I have already had the fleets and food divided up. You will each lead your fleet to help the victims. Remember! If there are any rapes or plunders, I will allow you to do as you please!
Kou Zhuang, Chen Jiechang, Li Libo, the three of you stay by my side and do the work. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Liang Qu took out three sand tables that he had made earlier and filled with small flags, and handed them to the three River Gods in turn.

The three men did not dare to delay. Faced with the order, although they were full of doubts, they still left the cabin with their river chiefs and river officials.

Liang Qu stood on the deck and watched the huge and bloated fleet separate into three parts and rush to other places.

Compared with the members of the Shahe Gang, it is obvious that our own people are more trustworthy, and only then can the fleet be spread out.

When faced with floods, small forces are much more effective than large ones.

Old Song separated the fleet and came to Liang Qu.

"Sir, we are almost at the Jimin point in front."

"Arrange personnel to resettle the victims. We will head east later. I remember there are large rice fields over there."
