The wind is angry and wants to pull out the wood, and the rain storm wants to lift the house.

The wind rolls over the waves, and the rain drops fall on the axles.

As soon as Li Shimin and his entourage arrived at Li Zhong's house in Workshop City, it began to rain heavily outside.

At the beginning, everyone didn't take it too seriously, but brewed Longjing fragrant tea in Li Zhong's house.

With the strong wind and heavy rain, sitting on the wooden table in front of the window, tasting the autumn tea that has not been on the market for a long time, it is a special taste.

"The house in this workshop city can be said to be small and fine, and it should be quite comfortable to live in, the only drawback is that it is a little too far away from Chang'an City."

Li Shimin sat on the Taishi chair with a golden knife, admiring the furnishings in the room while talking casually.

And Li Zhong stood there tremblingly, without his former calmness.

After all, Li Shimin inexplicably knew that he had a suite in the workshop city, and he also went to check it out, which might have been just something that Li Shimin did casually, but for Li Zhong, it contained a lot of information.

Is there any other power in your majesty's hands that you don't know about?

I heard that Lan He also has a group of people under him who are helping His Majesty do things, could it be that they are used to supervise the Hundred Cavalry Division?

Could it be that His Majesty doesn't trust himself that much anymore?

In Li Zhong's heart, all kinds of thoughts kept drifting by.

"Nanshan Construction Work is a builder who undertook the construction project of Daming Palace, and it still has a lot of its own uniqueness in building houses. Especially this new type of cement red brick and green tile house, no one is more experienced than Nanshan Construction Engineering. In addition, the construction of the workshop city has unified planning and layout considerations, and each unit type has been fully discussed, so it makes people feel more comfortable to live in. ”

Although he is full of worries, Li Shimin's words still have to be answered well.

"That's right, I heard that the area of the workshop city is less than 10% of the total area. If you don't plan well, it will inevitably be messy at that time, and even affect the development of the workshop city. ”

"Boom!"

As soon as Li Shimin's words were finished, there was another thunderclap outside.

"It's been raining for almost half an hour, hasn't it? Why hasn't it stopped yet? ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but walk to the window and pushed it open.

Soon, the raindrops the size of beans immediately drifted in.

"Your Majesty, I look at this, it seems that I won't stop for a moment, there doesn't seem to be any standing water outside, why don't we go back to the city? If you get back late, you might get flooded. ”

Li Junxian, who was on the side, felt uncomfortable staying in Li Zhong's house.

Now that I finally found an excuse to go back to the palace, I immediately stood up and put forward my own suggestions.

"Jun Xian's proposal is also reasonable, the carriage produced by the Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage workshop, even if it rains heavily, you don't have to worry about water, and it seems that there is no water outside, so it's good to go back early."

Li Shimin stayed at his home, and Li Zhong also felt a lot of pressure.

Although Li Shimin said before that he would come back to the workshop city to take a look in the near future, Li Zhong had already arranged for the people in the house to clean up the house properly, and even all kinds of materials and food were very well prepared, ready to deal with Li Shimin's arrival at any time.

But the pressure is always there.

The sooner he returns to the palace, he can be more comfortable.

"Okay! I originally wanted to go around the workshop city, but looking at this appearance, the heavy rain couldn't stop for a while. If I continue to go down, there may be some places where there will be floods, and if I am not in the palace, it will inevitably lead to ineffective disaster relief. ”

Although Li Shimin feels a bit of a pity today, he is not the kind of willful emperor.

Soon, the group hugged Li Shimin and got into the carriage.

And Li Zhong personally sat in the front of the car and drove the carriage into the pouring rain with the coachman.

Bean-sized raindrops dripped on the ground, splashing water.

Although the sewers in the workshop town are very well constructed, when the raindrops fall on the ground, they still form an impact on the remaining thin layer of water on the ground, like a fountain blooming.

The rain seemed to have become heavier after Li Shimin and his party got into the carriage, and there were bursts of mist on the streets and rooftops, like ethereal white sand, giving people a hazy feeling.

Fortunately, there was not a single pedestrian on the street of Nuoda, and Li Zhong drove the carriage forward quickly, so as not to hit the pedestrians.

Li Shimin sat in the carriage and suddenly felt a burst of unease.

This heavy rain is a bit weird, will it have an adverse impact on the good development of Datang?

Fortunately, there was no obvious water on either side of the cement road, which made Li Shimin's heart relax a little.

As long as the heavy rain does not fall to the point of stagnant water, it will not cause a major disaster.

I'm afraid that the rain will be too big, the water can't drain away, and there will be water everywhere, so it will be troublesome.

Although Datang also has high-rise buildings like the Gewu Building of Guanshishan Academy, more of them are still one-story low houses.

If this is flooded, not only will the property suffer heavy damage, but also casualties will be difficult to avoid.

Even the collapse of the house is inevitable.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Li Junxian wore a special raincoat and followed closely behind Li Shimin's carriage, for fear of any accidents.

Because it was raining so much, visibility was very limited.

In addition, the sound of the rain was loud, and it was difficult to hear each other clearly, even the people who were close to them.

This kind of occasion is simply the best situation for the Assassin to appear.

When countless storytellers talked about the assassination scene, the scene that Li Junxian saw now appeared.

It's hard not for him to be nervous!

"Pilot!"

At that moment, the driver of the carriage in front of him struck the reins and gave a command to the horses to stop.

Li Junxian's heart in the back shrank suddenly, thinking that he was afraid of something.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Li Junxian roared, pulled out the saber at his waist, and looked nervously at the Quartet.

However, apart from the pouring rain, there was no one to be seen at all.

At this time, Li Zhong in front of the carriage also lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, there is water in front of you, and you can't get through!" ”

Li Shimin, who felt the sudden stop of the carriage in the carriage, immediately poked his head out and looked ahead.

I saw that at the end of the cement road, it was already white, like a vast ocean, and there was no trace of the road at all.

"Is this out of Workshop City?"

Li Shimin looked at both sides and found no buildings.

"Yes, just out of the workshop city is not a few hundred meters, and it has become like this!"

Li Zhong frowned, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Li Junxian also figured out what was going on, and rode to the carriage with a slightly red face.

"Your Majesty, the rain is too heavy, and in the more than ten minutes we have been out, the rain has not become smaller at all, and it seems that it can't stop for a while. Why don't we go back to Commander Li's house to take shelter from the rain? ”

At this time, Li Junxian no longer felt that staying in Li Zhong's house was an uncomfortable thing.

No matter how uncomfortable it is, it's better than the current situation, right?

Not to mention that he was already soaked, the surrounding environment alone and the safety of Li Shimin in the carriage already made him unable to have the idea of continuing to stop here.

"There's already such a deep amount of water outside the workshop city, it's only been raining for less than an hour, right? If this continues, how much water will accumulate? ”

Li Shimin looked ahead, and began to worry about the people of Chang'an City.

Now he understands that he didn't see any stagnant water outside in Li Zhong's house just now, not because the rain is not big enough, but because the drainage measures in the workshop city are good enough.

He had heard that when Nanshan Construction was building the workshop city, the sewers dug could allow a four-wheeled carriage to run in it.

There are even some troublesome imperial histories that impeach Nanshan construction workers for extravagance and waste.

"Chang'an City has not had such a heavy rainstorm for more than ten years, Your Majesty, if this rain continues to fall, flooding is basically inevitable. Fortunately, it is now about to enter winter, and the crops in the field have basically been harvested, that is, some of the woad vegetables that have just begun to be planted in the greenhouse will be greatly affected. In addition, in recent years, the grain output of our Datang has been rising, even if there are some floods, the impact is controllable. ”

Li Zhong could only comfort Li Shimin like this.

At the moment, everyone knows that flooding is inevitable.

"Let's go! Go back to your house to take shelter from the rain, and I may have to stay at your house tonight. In this way, it is estimated that even if the rain stops, the carriage may not be able to pass! ”

Although the carriage in which Li Shimin was riding had just washed into the stagnant water, it had already stopped.

But most of the wheels are still soaked in stagnant water.

You can imagine how deep the water will be if you continue to move forward.

"Pilot!"

Li Zhong took the whip and reins from the horseman's hand, and personally controlled the four-wheeled carriage to turn around.

Fortunately, although it is out of the workshop city, the cement road is still wide enough.

Otherwise, it's a problem to turn around!

……

Hanyuan Hall is the highest place in the front palace of Daming Palace.

Fang Xuanling and the others did not find Li Shimin in the Xuanzheng Palace, so they came to the door of the Hanyuan Hall and looked at the scene outside the Daming Palace.

Due to the relatively high terrain of Daming Palace and the very developed drainage system, this sudden rainstorm did not have any special impact on the palace.

Seeing Cen Wenwen leading the group towards the gate of the palace, the worry in Fang Xuanling's heart did not decrease at all.

"Auxiliary, look at it like this, the imperial court is going to start thinking about disaster relief!"

"Hey, I finally passed a few years of good weather, but I didn't expect to be ruined by this rainstorm. I don't know how long this heavy rain will last, but if it continues like this, it will not be as simple as disaster relief. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was also quickly calculating the impact of this heavy rain in his heart.

"I don't know where Your Majesty is now, if you have already left Chang'an City, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, there was such a strange heavy rain at this time, and it was easy for the people to breed all kinds of rumors, and if they were used by people with intentions, it would inevitably bring some twists and turns. Especially some time ago, some people said that the Tang Dynasty's treatment of Goguryeo was too harsh, and it was not something that the kingdom should do. Maybe those people will say that this heavy rain is God punishing us Datang. ”

No matter which dynasty it is, there is a market for some ghosts and gods.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji himself doesn't believe this, he is a lot of people who know that Datang believes in this.

"As long as the Twelve Guards are not chaotic and the Tang Royal Military Academy is not chaotic, there will be no chaos in Chang'an City. However, your worries are also right, especially once there are more people affected by the disaster, the imperial court must pay attention to the changes in rumors in the market in time. ”

Fang Xuanling was still relatively confident in Datang's current situation, but as soon as he finished speaking, he let out a burst of surprise, "Huh? What's the situation? ”

"Huh? How did Jingren (the character of Cen text) fall back again? ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, also found out about the situation.

I saw that at the gate of the palace not far away, Cen Wenwen, who had just left, actually turned back.

Fortunately, Cen Wenwen did not let them continue to be surprised, and quickly trotted back, regardless of the inconvenience of the guards who held their umbrellas on both sides.

"Fang Xiang, the situation is a little bad, the water outside the palace gate has reached the knees. I asked people to try to walk forward a few dozen steps, but the water was already up to the thighs, and there was no way to continue walking! ”

Cen Wenwen's news was like a blow to the hearts of Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji.

There is already such a deep stagnant water outside the Daming Palace!

What about Chang'an City?

What about other states and counties?

Now that the rain has not stopped at all, this scene is definitely going to be an accident.

Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and there were worried expressions in each other's eyes.

At the entrance of Hanyuan Palace, there was silence for a while.

Only the water flowing down like a waterfall on the roof of the palace was left, crashing against the ground and splashing one after another.

"Invite Shilang Li Chunfeng over!"

After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling gave the first order.

What to do in the future depends on how long this rain will fall.

And in Chang'an City, no one is more proficient in this way than Li Chunfeng.

The Taishi Bureau worked in the side hall next to the Hanyuan Palace, and soon Li Chunfeng was invited to Fang Xuanling and others.

Don't look at Li Chunfeng as just a general, but in the Taishi Bureau, which is in charge of astronomy, geography, calendar-making, and history revision, his status is not low at all.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Shimin trusts him.

Otherwise, Fang Xuanling, who was the prime minister of the dynasty, would not be kind to an official who was more than a dozen grades behind him.

This is the same as the secretary next to the leader, although his level may not be high, but because the leader trusts him, the people around him who are much higher than him have to be kind to him, and even inevitably have a little stammer.

"Shoshirou, when will this rain stop?"

Fang Xuanling was not in the mood to greet Li Chunfeng, and asked directly.

"It won't get smaller until at least at night, and as for when it will stop completely, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, no one can say. However, it is certain that the rain will continue for at least a few more hours. ”

Li Chunfeng's words broke the luck psychology of Fang Xuanling and others.

It's only been an hour, and that's it, and how many hours are you going to have to go on?

Isn't Chang'an City going to be submerged?

The faces of all the big guys have become unsightly!

State affairs, family affairs, and everything are worrying.

In this storm, it is not known whose house will collapse, and I don't know if the house has been flooded.

……

In the sales office of Guiyi Fang, Wei Siren, Du He and Changsun Chong stood on the window on the second floor, their faces pale.

The first floor was already flooded with water, and there was no way to stay.

Now, everyone is crammed into the second floor.

Even noble figures like Wei Siren, Du He and Changsun Chong are embarrassed.

No way, the sales office has two floors in this house, and the rest of the house is one floor, or a second-floor house that has not yet been built.

"Brother Wei, it's a big trouble now!" The eldest grandson said depressedly.

The eldest grandson's family and Wei Du have reached a cooperation, and today the eldest grandson Chong asked Wei Siren and Du He to come to Guiyifang, originally wanting to feel the scene of a hot sale of real estate, but he didn't expect to be trapped here.

At first, everyone thought it was just a sudden shower, and it would be fine.

Who knew that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in less than a quarter of an hour, water began to flood into the sales office.

Immediately afterwards, the water level became higher and higher, and the first floor was soon left with no one to wait.

"We just stockpiled a batch of cement yesterday, and now all of them are soaked in rainwater, and it is estimated that there is no basket that can be used again, and the losses are heavy!"

Du He thought that in order to reduce the impact of the increase in the price of building materials as much as possible, he bought all the cement produced by various cement workshops as if he was forced to buy and sell.

Originally, I thought that with these cements, there would be basically no shortage of construction materials this year.

I didn't expect to feed all of them to the rain god now.

"The cement is still secondary, and the more troublesome thing is that those houses that have not yet been delivered are now soaked in rainwater, how can they be handed over to the buyers? This heavy rain, Guiyi Fang has become Qujiang Pond, who else will dare to buy our house in the future? ”

Wei Siren is obviously thinking more long-term than Duhe.

"I just saw a house collapse, don't kill anyone!"

Changsun Chong's words made everyone's mood even more depressed.

It's all thanks to this rainstorm!

"No one could have expected such heavy rain. In Chang'an City, there must be flooding everywhere, and it is impossible that only our Guiyifang has been flooded. I think that after this heavy rain, people will be more willing to buy our two-story building in Guiyifang, even if it is flooded, there is still a place to go. Think about it, if this is a one-story house, wouldn't we just be able to hide on the roof and get drenched in the rain at this moment? ”

When Du He said this, Wei Siren and Changsun Chong both felt that it made sense.

This is a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with my house in Guiyifang.

"That's right, even our Guiyi Workshop has been flooded, and I guess it's even more exaggerated on the Workshop City side. Maybe after today, there will be no trace of the workshop city on the ground. ”

Wei Siren's words, although he didn't even believe it, couldn't help but say it.

On this occasion, it would be too difficult not to find something to motivate yourself.

Seeing that the heavy rain did not stop at all, there was no smile on everyone's faces.

……

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

If you listen to the sound of rain outside the window, it is a good place to sleep.

However, tonight's Li Shimin couldn't sleep at all.

Seeing that the rain was falling from noon to evening, although the rain had slowed down, it showed no signs of stopping.

What a good thing that is!

In the evening, a guard rode a horse to visit the direction of Chang'an City, and found that the water had flooded to the entrance of the workshop city.

You can imagine what Chang'an City looks like now.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should rest early!"

Li Zhong arranged for the only few maids in the house to come over to serve Li Shimin, but Li Shimin had no intention of resting at all.

He didn't even eat a few bites of dinner.

"Hey! Did you say that Daming Palace was flooded? ”

Although Li Shimin is very worried about the disaster in Chang'an City and even the entire Guanzhong, he is more concerned about whether there is an accident in the Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty, the terrain of Daming Palace is relatively high, and it is a project that Nanshan Construction Engineering is responsible for, so a large number of sewers were specially built at the beginning. Because of this problem, Wechen also quarreled with the people of Nanshan Construction Engineering at that time, and later explained the master craftsman Yan Liben, and Wechen understood the significance of sewer construction. ”

When the Daming Palace was built, Li Zhong often went over to confirm the situation.

For the underground pipes all over the palace, Li Zhong believes that it is a huge safety hazard.

So in the beginning, he was against it.

Now it seems that professional things really have to listen to the advice of professional people.

Fortunately, he did not force Nanshan Construction to stop the construction of the sewer, otherwise he would really not be able to sleep tonight.

"Well, it seems that the construction of this house should not only look at whether the buildings on the ground are beautiful and magnificent, but also fully consider the planning and construction of underground pipelines. This workshop city, now it seems that Kuan'er has put in a lot of effort. ”

Even after dark, there was no obvious standing water on the streets outside.

And outside the workshop city, it has long been a vast ocean.

Li Shimin witnessed the gap between the two, and naturally felt the necessity and importance of sewer construction.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is always able to be far-sighted, even if he doesn't understand everyone at the beginning, he can persevere in doing it. Otherwise, the workshop city would not be what it is today. ”

"The Guiyi Workshop we are looking at today is also a house built in imitation of the workshop city, right?"

Li Shimin thought of the brand-new house he saw in the morning, and suddenly asked a question that he was worried about.

"Forehead......" Li Zhong was entangled for a moment, "Your Majesty, in Chang'an City, except for Daming Palace, it is estimated that only the Workshop City has dug such a wide sewer." The Guiyi Workshop was demolished in just a few months, and a number of houses were built, so naturally there were no sewers. The only drainage facility is the ditches on both sides of the road. ”

Li Zhong was suddenly glad that he was still more concerned about Guiyifang, otherwise he would really not be able to answer Li Shimin's question.

"Only ditches?"

"Yes!"

After Li Zhong's answer, the room fell silent again.

Only the glow of the thick butter candles, constantly swaying in the cold wind, made the night even more bleak.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

For many more, there may not even be a place to sleep.

When Li Shimin thought of this, he was even more sleepy!

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, so don't make any man-made disasters.
