It rained heavily for several days.

Finally, as if it was a gift from heaven, it was finally over.

in the Forbidden City.

Zhang Zhaotian, the imperial horse supervisor, was already anxious.

He inspected the palaces, and the losses of each palace were not small.

The collapse of the temple of caution is a very serious matter, after all, this is still after the renovation, once it is investigated, I don't know how many people will be unlucky.

There are also many other palaces that need to be repaired.

Although he is the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he is the number two person in the palace, but the repair of the palace, but most of the time, he is in charge.

Zhang Zhaotian became anxious, and after counting the losses, he was even more frightened, if this Forbidden City is to be repaired again, I am afraid that it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Zhang Zhaotian's mind was dazed.

And this news quickly spread.

Liu Jian recovered from a serious illness, but he was in a hurry.

There have been rumors outside that something happened to Daming Palace.

Something went wrong......

The civil and military officials were in a hurry.

For days, I didn't see His Majesty, and God knows what happened.

After the heavy rain, there was a rainbow in the sky.

But the water did not recede.

Many ministers gathered in Suncheonfu, and it seemed that only in Suncheonfu could they find out the news.

This Shuntianfu Yin looked at Liu Gong, Xie Gong and the princes of the court and the central government coming together, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and said busily: "There is Daming Palace, Xia Guan Lian urged four groups of messengers to go, and there has been no news of the three groups of messengers so far, this has been two or three days, and they have not come back, and there is a group of people, who also came back early in the morning, they said, the river flooded, the bridge was broken, coupled with the heavy rain, the river was turbulent, and ordinary boats crossed over, the risk was too great, and the rain had to stop." ”

Liu Jian also thought that there was news here in Shuntianfu, but when he heard it, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

The others were in a hurry.

Liu Zhengjing and Wang Bushi were among them, sighing.

It's just that Wang Bushi's face is even more anxious.

And Liu Zhengjing, who was just worried about Daming Palace, seemed calmer.

"Princes, princesses, I heard that the Imperial Horse Supervisor sent a warrior camp to prepare to go to Daming Palace, and also requisitioned several big ships......"

Someone flew in.

After hearing this, Liu Jian glanced at everyone worriedly, he was anxious, Liu Jian said: "The old man will also go." ”

When the others heard this, they said, "Go with the lower officials." ”

Especially people like Wang Bushi, who are worried about the king at the top, and worry about their own houses at the bottom.

That house, nine times out of ten, is gone, what a bullshit new town, damn liar.

Liu Jian didn't say anything, he got up, and everyone stepped into the mud in embarrassment, one deep and one shallow, and in some places, the water actually overflowed his knees, and there were countless garbage floating in the water, and there was a foul smell.

Everyone did not hesitate, they went into the water hard, and when they went out of the outer city, it was even more terrifying, and there were messengers who prepared a boat, and the officials boarded the boat one after another, and this journey was really difficult.

Wang Bushi's inner ...... It's hopeless.

I want to die.

He wanted to go and see his house, to see the two acres of land, and now ...... I guess it's already soaked in water.

Of course, if something happens to His Majesty, it will be really bad, and I want to die even more.

Liu Zhengjing and Wang Bushi are actually quite familiar with each other, he and Wang Bushi are in the same boat, so they can't help but comfort him: "At the beginning, Wang Shishu should have broken his wrist, but now, how can there be such troubles..."

Wang Bushi lowered his head, curled up on the boat, gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he didn't make a sound.

Liu Zhengjing patted him on the back, and wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't speak.

This group of people started to set off early in the morning, almost trekking through mountains and rivers all the way, and at noon, it was still far away from Daming Palace.

However, after leaving the city, he joined up with the warrior battalion, and with the help of the officers and soldiers, the situation was a little better.

Zhang Zhaotian, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was full of worries, he and Liu Jian were quite familiar, and this time it was Zhang Zhaotian who personally led the troops, so he came to greet Liu Jian.

Liu Jian glanced at him: "I heard that the Palace of Prudence has collapsed?" ”

Zhang Zhaotian bowed: "Yes......"

Liu Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, Jingli has become a country, and the imperial court doesn't know how much food is needed, and now in this palace, I'm afraid it's ......

"Geometry of loss."

"If you want to repair it, at least 400,000 taels of silver......"

Liu Jian: "......"

Xie Qian was beside him, and couldn't help but say: "Even if it is a natural disaster, why is it like this, you can explain it to Your Majesty yourself." ”

Zhang Zhaotian couldn't help but say: "What does this have to do with slaves and maids, it is really a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, besides, such a big wind and rain, which mansion in Beijing is good, this ...... This is excusable, Second Prince, Your Majesty trusts you, please speak kindly to Second Prince. ”

Liu Jian looked at him, just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Zhaotian is a low-key person, in fact, he is still a good eunuch, at least as the palm seal eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, he gives people a good impression.

But...... Good words...... How did the 400,000 taels of silver come from?

Seeing this, Zhang Zhaotian couldn't help but say, "What's more...... The slave maid wants to come, then the Daming Palace is only afraid that it will be worse now...... The Forbidden City has been so badly affected......"

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go quickly."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Zhaotian also felt speechless, as if he was looking forward to something happening in Daming Palace, he was really anxious, so he didn't choose to speak......

………………

The damage from Xishan to Xincheng was not serious, although it was also muddy, so as soon as he saw that the rain stopped, Fang Jifan didn't even eat breakfast, so he rushed to Xincheng.

The new city is the root of his life.

All his life was thrown into it.

I still expect the Fang family to rely on this to eat a thousand generations, if something happens, because of this once-in-a-three hundred years natural disaster, and the new city is frustrated, in the future, will anyone still buy a house?

Zhu Houzhao was more anxious than Fang Jifan.

He couldn't figure out how much debt he owed, and if the creditor went to his father, his father would have to take him.

The two hurried to the new city.

And the new city is here...... As far as the eye can see, there are already framed houses, and some of the roads that have been built long ago are still intact except for a mess.

Countless craftsmen who had nowhere to go had been hiding in the built houses for the past few days to avoid the rain, and now they came out one after another when the sky cleared.

Because of the torrential rain, there were blown branches everywhere and debris and grass clippings flying from nowhere.

Some of the scaffolding fell down.

As for...... Stagnant water......

Strange to say, apart from small puddles, there is no big stagnant water.

And so, the craftsmen began to get busy.

The construction period has been delayed for so many days, this is not considered wages, Xishan Construction is very generous to the salary, and if you do one less day's work, you will earn one less day of silver.

Therefore, everyone took the initiative to start cleaning up the new city.

Although the decoration of this newly built house has not yet begun, there are basically no traces of damage inside.

On the one hand, it is a complete masonry structure, and a relatively strong concrete is used, and secondly, there is no stagnant water, and it is necessary to know that the damage to the building is fundamental, especially the wooden structure, once soaked for a few days, it will not take long, and the foundation of the building is almost finished.

What's more, because of the concrete, the foundation is firmly laid.

To some extent, in fact, hollow bricks have also played a role.

This hollow brick structure is no worse than solid brick.

Not only that, but it's also more soundproof, making it easier to keep warm.

And because of the lighter weight, although there is a strong external force, it will not appear the extrusion deformation of the entire frame.

And cope with stagnant water.

But it was a great effort in the sewer planned in the new city in advance.

Although the rain is very heavy, the sewer may not be able to withstand the rainstorm that occurs once in three hundred years, but after all, the rainwater has a channel for drainage, and in the early morning, there is indeed a large amount of stagnant water on the ground, but by the time Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao arrived, it was basically drained clean.

After a period of cleaning by craftsmen, in the blink of an eye, the thousands of mansions and government offices under construction in this new city at the same time seem to have no trace of such strong winds and showers.

Immediately afterward, sixty or seventy thousand craftsmen and coolies began to get busy again.

People started mixing concrete again, digging foundations, or moving to distant kilns to transport tiles, hollow bricks and other building materials.

Everything is in order.

The clearing of the road has made the criss-crossing new road look new, and the asphalt that was paved half a month ago has been washed by a burst of rain, and it is as good as new.

Fang Jifan saw that there was no big problem, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, in the distance, it was Daming Palace, and Daming Palace didn't seem to be anything unusual, even if it was the towering bell tower, it still stood proudly.

Zhu Houzhao breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's terrible, fortunately, this palace has accumulated some virtue recently, otherwise, if this new city goes wrong, this palace will have to thank the world with death." ”

Fang Jifan thought in his heart, you won't die, after all, you are so thick-skinned.

But...... Fang Jifan's mood also brightened: "Yes, it's good that nothing happened, to be honest, the reason why this is the case is that the big guys are all simple, and everyone is a real person." ”

This is true, Fang Jifan's profits are extremely high, so he can build roads and houses at any cost.

And the craftsmen of this era, giving them a full bite of food and a little salary, they are grateful to Dade, and they are consciously aware that this is a good life, which is not easy to come by, and they are willing to work hard.

Naturally, it is also inseparable from a group of students from the School of Engineering under Xishan Academy, who are almost all working according to the drawings and supervising them, which is quite effective.

After all...... Students, they haven't learned to cheat and cheat.

Saying that, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao had already entered the new city, and immediately recruited a group of foremen and students, and began to arrange the regulations for the next construction.

Fang Jifan looked at the drawings, holding his chin on the one hand, and began to listen to the reports of the students, probably the loss after this heavy rain.
