Official in Troubled Times: I Can See Tomorrow's County Journal

[Alternate history + time travel + survival in troubled times + group portraits + non-system flow] On June 12, the seventeenth year of Zhaoping, Zhou Xun traveled to Qinghe County, Dajing, and became a clerk at the bottom of the county government office. At that time, Mingming's ink appeared on a torn county chronicle: "June 13th. The Qinghe River surged and the east embankment burst. All seven villages in the West River were destroyed. Thirty-four hundred and twenty-one people died." Today is June 12th. The county annals only write about one public event every day that will be remembered by history. It doesn't give a reason, it doesn't give a murderer, it doesn't give a solution. All Zhou Xun could do was to check the dikes, find people who really knew the water, persuade the county magistrate, move people, open warehouses, raise grain, and bring back those who should have died in the county records one by one. But after the flood, there were still food shortages, refugees, epidemics, and war... When the scope he could see expanded from a county to a prefecture and a state, what was really before him was no longer a disaster.
