Parents are busy farming

He said solemnly, "This is my job, it's not worth mentioning."

After that, the two stopped being polite with each other and quickly plunged into their intense and busy work.

Ye Zifen sat down slowly, her movements graceful and calm.

She gently reached out her hand and picked up the letter she had just been reading.

This memorial is an important document submitted by the Ministry of Works, and the matters recorded in it are related to people's livelihood.

It turns out that in a certain county town, its geographical environment is quite special, as it is surrounded by mountains on three sides.

On weekdays, except for the rainy season, all other seasons are peaceful.

The land is fertile and the rice yield is high.

However, once the rainy season arrives, the situation is completely different.

Due to abundant rainfall, the accumulated water on the mountains often flows down and floods large fields at the foot of the mountains.

This situation does not happen every year, but even if it happens once in a while, it is enough to destroy an entire season's harvest.

In recent years, perhaps due to the dry climate, this kind of flooding of farmland has never occurred.

But now, as the weather gradually returns to normal and the rain increases, this problem has once again been put before people and cannot be ignored.

At this moment, Ye Zifen's brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" character.

Her beautiful eyes were now fixed on the words on the memorial, as if she wanted to see the truth and solution hidden behind the words.

Her eyes were focused and sharp, as if she wanted to engrave each word deeply into her mind.

At the same time, her fingers unconsciously began to tap lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

The clear sound echoed in the quiet room, as if it was a way for her to vent her inner anxiety.

In her imagination, the mountains surrounding it on three sides were like silent and majestic beasts.

They stand there quietly, seemingly peaceful and harmless, but when the rainy season comes, they may open their bloody mouths and spew out surging floods, ruthlessly swallowing up the fertile fields on which the people living at the foot of the mountain depend for their survival.

Thinking of this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but feel a strong sense of mission and responsibility in her heart.

At this moment, a scene that made her jaw drop appeared in her mind - the heavy rain was like a river pouring down from the sky, continuously pouring down from the towering peaks, gathering into a surging torrent, rushing down the mountain with an overwhelming force.

Wherever the flood passed, the rice fields that were once golden and full of promise of a good harvest were instantly swallowed up by the ruthless flood, leaving only a vast ocean of water.

The desperate cries of the farmers kept echoing in his ears like thunder, each one piercing his heart.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying hard to calm her turbulent emotions.

Because she knew very well that the sudden rainstorm and flood was not just an ordinary natural disaster, it was related to the life and death and livelihood of the people.

At this moment, countermeasures flashed through her mind like lightning: Should she immediately organize people to build a strong dam to block the flood?

Or should we concentrate our efforts on clearing the river channels that have long been silted up so that the flood water can be drained out smoothly?

Or would it be more appropriate to simply move all the farmland in low-lying areas to higher ground?

However, once every idea emerges, it is accompanied by a series of insurmountable difficulties and unpredictable potential risks.

He cast his heavy eyes again at the memorial in his hand. Every word densely written on it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing heavily on his heart, making him feel a little breathless.

After calming himself down a bit, he slowly turned to the page at the back of the memorial, and what came into view was the opinions presented by the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Industry suggested building a large reservoir based on the model of the county where they were originally located.

Ye Zifen actually quite agrees with this proposal. After all, once the reservoir is built, it can effectively regulate the water flow and prevent flood disasters.

But at the same time, she was also keenly aware that the Ministry of Industry seemed to have rashly proposed such a plan without careful consideration.

Not to mention the arduous engineering difficulty of building a reservoir in this mountainous area, the huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources required alone are an astronomical figure; not to mention the long period of time that the entire project will have to go through from the start of construction to its final completion.

Thinking of this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought...

The Ministry of Industry seemed to have turned a blind eye to these crucial issues and had never thought about them in depth.

They have not even been able to give a clear answer or plan on such basic issues as what size of reservoir should be built.

This is simply unbelievable! If we act in this way, how can we ensure the smooth progress of the project?

Thinking of this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but frown her beautiful eyebrows.

She quickly reached out and picked up the brush on the table, then dipped it in ink without hesitation and began to write down all the thoughts in her heart one by one.

The tip of the pen in her hand fell steadily, as firm and steady as if it had a thousand pounds of strength.

Every word she wrote seemed to carry her full of worries and deep thoughts.

I saw lines of beautiful but powerful handwriting gradually appearing on the paper: "The terrain here is complicated and the difficulty of successfully building a reservoir here can be imagined. Therefore, the investment in human, material and financial resources must be calculated very carefully and accurately; at the same time, the time required for the entire project must also be reasonably estimated based on the actual situation. In addition, the key point is that the final size of this reservoir will be directly related to the actual benefits it can bring and the series of possible impacts it may have. Therefore, we must consider this issue very carefully."

After putting all her thoughts into words, Ye Zifen finally stopped waving the brush.

Then she gently put down the pen and took a deep breath as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Then, after pondering for a moment, she made a resolute decision - she suggested that the Ministry of Industry send someone to survey the local topography as soon as possible, and asked them to formulate a detailed and feasible implementation plan based on the actual survey results.

So he picked up the pen again and finally wrote, "We should send someone to investigate thoroughly before making a decision."
