This typhoon alleviated the severe drought in the south, and except for the people in Helu who thought it was mediocre, the people in other places were devastated. No one would have expected this typhoon to come so violently after a few months of drought, so there was no precaution at all, the crops in the field and the fruit trees on the mountain did not have time to pick, and the wind blew down the ground, and the lychees and longans of this season fell all over the ground, crying the hearts of many fruit farmers. The rice in the fields was also blown away by the wind and soaked in water.

The worst is the villagers' houses, except for the ones in Xinghua County, most of them are thatched huts, the rootstock on them has not been repaired this year, and the houses are also leaky, the wind first blows, the roof is lifted open, and then the rain pours down, and the whole house seeps water everywhere. The tiled houses in Xinghua City are not necessarily good, and a large piece of tiles are swept up by the wind, and it is fortunate that they will not hurt people when they hit the ground.

The typhoon lasted for two days, and the wind eased slightly on the third day, but the rain was not weak but strong, and the rain was as if it didn't need money, from morning to night, without stopping, I originally thought that the rain was brought by the typhoon, but everyone looked at it, this was wrong, it seemed that the typhoon was brought by the rain.

As soon as the wind stopped, the Tsinghua School continued to open, and the children came to class one by one wearing the clothes of the adults at home, and the umbrella was still relatively rare, after all, it was impossible for anyone to work in the field to hold an umbrella.

The villagers stayed at home for two days, and when they finished eating the food, they had to go to the street to buy it. It's okay to stay in He Lu, I didn't feel how powerful this typhoon is, once I arrived at Xianshui, after Lianqian and Chihe, I could understand the damage caused by the typhoon to their three villages, and there were no two rooms left in the house, and half of the lid was lifted, and the water in the house kept flowing out, as if the water in the house was broken and gushing out.

Just like Fengshan, a big market town, although they are all tiled houses, but they are not better than He Lu at all, they are all half a catty and eight taels, He Lu people have seen the damage caused to them by a typhoon this time, and it is already the smallest degree in the past years, so they know why Liang Chuan wants to lead everyone, one house after another to strengthen the past, and now everyone has a deep understanding of good intentions.

After this profound experience, their first reaction was to take out all the savings of the family, run to Zheng Ji's rice shop, buy as much rice as they want, and move it to the house vigorously.

Zheng Ji Rice's shopkeeper has received a notice from their eldest lady, and he also said that he should pay close attention to the trend of rice prices in the past few days, and has not received any news of price increases for the time being, and he will sell it to these villagers according to the daily price of rice.

Zheng Ruoying waited for the wind to pass, led by Fan Dianyuan and they were also anxious about their own sugarcane land, but fortunately, after listening to Liang Chuan's words, they thickened the sugarcane cultivation land, and the sugarcane roots were quite firm, even if there was lodging, it was only a few, a little support, the roots were not broken, it was to see if they could continue to live, and the loss was not too big.

She didn't care about getting wet with an umbrella, and made a special trip to Liang Chuan's house, and now she really admires Liang Chuan beyond recognition, people who are proficient in astronomy and mathematics, and people who are also so good at business, can't do it if you don't admire it. Although the current flood has not yet come, the rain insists on falling for another two days, and the flood in Xinghua City will be soon.

Liang Chuan was not at home, he and He Baozheng took a few young people in the village to go up the mountain to inspect, and their tea plantations did not lose anything in this typhoon, but the rain was a little fierce, and the terraced fields on the mountain had collapsed in some places, and they needed to be repaired.

Sure enough, the valley on the mountain turned into a river as soon as the rain came, and the muddy rain gathered together, and now it was still a small stream, washing away the mud and rushing down the mountain. The river was cleaned so that the rain would not be blocked, and occasionally a few dead branches and tree trunks that had been broken by the typhoon would fall into the valley, and Liang Chuan would take the young man down to pick up the wood. If the wood is not removed in time, the silt may clog the valley, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Inspected the valley and Liangchuan inspected the fields under the mountain, because the ditches had been cleared, there was almost no water in the fields, and the river water was discharged along the ditches to Nanxi. Several people stood on the embankment on the edge of the South Stream, looking from afar, rubbing their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The water level of the Nanxi River, which had reached a very low point, has returned to its former majesty, and the water in the stream is also turbid, gathering mountain spring water from all over the place, rushing and roaring in the direction of the downstream Fengting, the former stream is a tame sheep, and now it is a complete wolf. No wonder the people on this side are reluctant to deal with Nanxi, if this beast dares to say stupid things like man will win the day, it can be regarded as a madman, and he will definitely be devoured by this beast when he enters the water.

Looking at the next few villages, it is not so much farmland as a country, a large area of farmland soaked in rainwater, most of these are dryland crops, they are drought-loving and not wet, long-term soaking is definitely not good, such as those winter wheat and millet, this time is the harvest season, continue to put in the ground, there will be absolutely no harvest.

"I'm afraid they'll all have to go out to ask for food this year, if the rain doesn't stop." He Baozheng stood beside Liang Chuan, several people looked at this tragic situation, but also had palpitations, when a few young people dug a ditch to buy rice, they still remember the scene of the first few villages of Shanshui Lian laughing at them, if Liang Chuan didn't insist that they dig a ditch early and prepare early, now their field must be the same, He Baozheng said that the people who ask for food, also have their share.

"It's good that the water level in Nanxi is not high now, if the water in this stream continues to rise, I'm afraid that these paddy fields will also be finished." Liang Chuan said worriedly.

"The situation is not good, the embankment on the south bank has not been solidified, as far as I know several places are damaged, everyone thinks that there will be no water this year, who knows that God loves to joke so much, the water will come, the fragile embankment is lost, and everyone in Xinghua will have to go to ask for food this year." He Baozheng said worriedly.

"It's not enough to ask for food, but when the time comes, you may have to slaughter them if you go to the Zheng family to buy rice." Liang Chuan said with a smile. has long given the stone a broad road to make a fortune, although it is a bit lacking in virtue to make this kind of disaster wealth, but if he Zheng family does not make it, there is also the rice shop of the Li family and the Wang family of the Li family rushing to increase the price, and it will not be these businessmen who have rice in their hands who will suffer, and the people will have to pay for it.

He looked at the turbulent river, where is the embankment on the other side, at most it is a high ridge, when there is no water in the river, everyone knows that there is this dam to block, the river is fierce, this small earthen dam can block the river water There are ghosts, it is better than the natural river bank on the north bank.

"Your brain is so good, when it's not raining, you can know that it's going to rain, and when it rains, you know that the price of rice is going to rise, and nothing can escape your eyes."

Liang Chuan's ability is similar to Kong Ming, one can borrow the east wind, and the other can fix the rain, where can He Baozheng manage the life and death of others in Xinghua, and it is his greatest blessing to be able to keep He Lu's side safe.

"I said that these things can be observed, you pay more attention when you live, and you will have experience in the future." Liang Chuan said lightly.

The group returned home, Zheng Ruoying couldn't wait for Liang Chuan back and forth, she had already gone back first, she planned to go to her cousin stone to ask for a little more food, it seems that what Liang Chuan said is about to become true, Xinghua flood is unavoidable, according to Liang Chuan's calculation, the price of rice will rise at that time, and he will not give his cousin face.

In Xinghua City, Shi watched this heavy rain come as scheduled, and his heart was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days, and he had been waiting for two months, anxious, and the rain finally came late at the end of July. Now it is necessary to ensure that there are no problems with the storage of these grains, he mobilized all the men of the Zheng family, and raised all the rice in the rice warehouse overnight, and did a good job of waterproof and moisture-proof.

Zheng Ruoying asked him for food, this cousin's face can't help but sell, anyway, she either loses money, and the money is earned by others, which is much better than falling into someone else's pocket.

Song Zhixian looked at the rain and had mixed feelings in his heart, and was worried about how to send this Liang Chuan to Chaozhou, but now the words were said by Liang Chuan, and he also listened to Liang Chuan carefully in the court, he persuaded himself to prepare for flood prevention as soon as possible, but he didn't listen to it at all, this is good, if this rain continues to fall, this waterlogging will not be able to run away, and then the whole Xinghua will be a piece, how to calm down the people's grievances, all the negative words will be blamed on their heads, accusing themselves of being a faint official, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal, ignoring the lives and deaths of the people.

The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, what should I do now? Liang Chuan could have foreseen this rainstorm three months ago, and he must have countermeasures, and now that the flood has not come, it should not be too late to ask him for advice.

"Master Lu, you go and call Zheng Fucheng to me!" Song Zhixian couldn't sit still for a moment, and he was in a hurry on the hot pot.

"My lord, Li Chengfu is tracking down the bandits, and he has not returned to the Golden Tower." Master Lu said.

"Nonsense! This golden building has been sealed by him for several months, and he hasn't even caught the shadow of a mountain bandit, and he still has the face to go to the golden building every day to make trouble! Song Guangdou was so angry that Hu Fei flew around, when the hell is this, he is still getting along with those prostitutes in the skin and meat business, why don't he have a talent like Liang Chuan under his hands.

It's a pity that he is Zhao Weixian's person, and he can't be moved, otherwise after this matter passes, he will have to be an errand under him, and he can be a staff member if he doesn't do it!
