Heavy rain poured down, and the outside of Qichang City had turned into a Ze country, and the water level of Qishui on the northwest side of the city had skyrocketed, and the scene had switched to 'sea viewing mode', not only the city was seriously waterlogged, but also the wilderness outside the city was also an ocean.

The armies of Zhou and Chen, who were divided into north and south confrontations outside the city, were unlucky, although their respective camps were at high places, they were also choked by the rain, and the heavy rain for days made the soldiers of the two armies suffer, the ground was muddy and the clothes were wet, and now both sides cursed the damn weather.

It was rainy in the Jiangnan region, so both sides were accustomed to it, but there was a difference in dissatisfaction: Chen Jun cursed the damn weather that prevented them from withdrawing their troops, and Zhou Jun cursed damn that the heavy rain had extinguished the hope of copying Chen's army's back road.

Yu Wenwen is one of them, he wears a hat, wears a hat, pulls his pants, wears clogs, walks in the rain, the army is stationed outside the city, so the barracks are full of mud, in this era when there are no plastic water shoes, he can only wear clogs, fortunately, he quickly got used to the clogs so he was able to inspect the barracks.

Qichang City is next to it, but there is not enough space for the army to settle in, although the generals can enter the city and live in a dry mansion, but Yu Wenwen still declined, and the soldiers are together, sharing the ups and downs, he is a good person, living in a camp tent in the rainy season is not a good experience, but he doesn't care.

In the rainy season, it is wet everywhere, and the wet clothes and the change of clothes can only be dried by fire, of course, the premise is that there is dry firewood, if even the firewood is wet, then even the fire can not be lit.

'If you don't dry your clothes, you won't do them, and if you can't do it, I'll wear my pants and beat me shirtless!' Yu Wenwen thought.

After the attack on Xincai, Yu Wenwen and his party returned along the original road non-stop, and finally arrived in Qichang before the flash flood washed away the road, and it rained heavily for several days, and he insisted on going out to patrol the camp every day, to calm the army's heart and come to see how the baby war horse was maintained.

This is the war horse he finally saved, according to the ratio of one person and one horse, there can be a thousand cavalry, but according to the main cavalry combat mode, that is, one person and two horses, there are only five hundred horses, although it is not enough to reach the level of the elite of a hundred battles, but it is also usable.

The forage for feeding horses on rainy days must be kept dry, not too much water, otherwise it is easy to have diarrhea, the water is soaring, the water quality is turbid, and even the well water is muddy, people can make do with it, but the delicate war horses are not, the food must be dry, the drink must be clean, if the care is not in place, a few horses will die in a few days, that is for sure.

There are also bows and arrows should also be treated with moisture, the health situation in the camp must be paid attention to, the rain is so troublesome, so the rainy season marching and fighting is a headache, not to mention the camp address should be paid attention to, the address is not well selected and easily taken away by a wave of floods, or the waterlogging is serious and the epidemic is numerous.

Yu Wenwen turned around and confirmed that everything was in order, and then returned to his camp tent, which was very simple, with shelves for hanging armor and weapons, a couch, a desk, an oil lamp, a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some information boxes, as well as carry-on luggage, there was nothing else.

Taking off his hat and taking off his coat and hanging it up, Yu Wenwen sat down in front of the bookcase and looked at the map on it, which was a topographic map near Xiyang City, and he didn't know how many times he had seen it, and the black lines on it represented the water conservancy facilities repaired this year.

As the saying goes, if you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Bazhou Thorn History is now very beautiful in the eyes of others, but in fact it is walking on the verge of bankruptcy, just like all the funds invested in the stock market.

As an 'abnormal human being' who wants to reverse the course of history, if he wants to realize his wishes, he can only rely on soldiers to raise soldiers, and he must have food, Bazhou is sparsely populated, and if he wants to farm, he must build water conservancy, and if he wants to repair water conservancy, he needs a large number of manpower, so he went to rob Chen Guo and rob people.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and if you want to fight, you have to be willing to invest, so Yuwen Wen overdrafted the financial expansion of the armament war, together with the financial and material resources invested in Wuzhou and Yanji, which cost a lot of money, and it can already be called a poor army, and the front line is smooth sailing, but the rear is not good.

Desperately pulling the project to brush the copy is to grab people to come back to repair the water conservancy, and now the water conservancy facilities are repaired, they may not be able to withstand the rainy season, and he has no bottom, doubling the food consumed by the population is also doubling, and the pressure is too great.

Rare heavy rainstorms have been falling for several days in a row, if the newly built south bank embankment by the Santai River 'hit the street', then he will also follow the 'fight on the street', the flood will wash away the crops will lead to this year's harvest or even no harvest, and the state grain stocks have to feed the new tens of thousands of people after many overdrafts can only last until the end of the year, if there is a famine 'new achievement', he will not be ashamed to see the Bazhou fathers.

"I don't know what happened to Xu Shao." Yu Wenwen looked at Yutu and muttered to himself, he handed over the important task of river defense to Xu Shao, and gave him full authority to mobilize manpower and material resources to protect the river embankment, as long as the river embankment is unharmed, then the autumn harvest is expected.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and quickly took out a refreshing weapon, whenever he wanted to 'steal a half day of leisure', or when he was depressed, he took out that thing, and when he looked at it, he was full of energy and fighting spirit.

This is a bill, which lists the money and food he has to consume every day, including the expenses needed to raise soldiers, support his family, and maintain state affairs.

Can't get along with his own customers, Yuwenwen is such an unscrupulous supplier, the wallet that is getting more and more deflated is a little powerless in the face of the slightest expense, the cost of raising the five thousand people of the Tiger Forest Army is not a joke, and the daily consumption including combat is not a small amount.

The private income was reduced by half, and the income of the 'public' family was about to be finished, and at the end of the year, it was not even possible to pay the officials' salaries, Yu Wenwen began to hesitate whether to engage in performance art, and took his two sons to set dishes on the streets of Anlu.

"Just about to farm, I encountered a heavy rainstorm, if the Yangtze River floods again!" Yu Wenwen walked back and forth in the account after collecting the bill, and the road was cut off from the heavy rain, and he couldn't go back to Bazhou, and the news from Bazhou couldn't be transmitted, so he couldn't do anything except worry.

If the Yangtze River is flooded, then the Xiyang City by the river can also 'see the sea', and it will be flooded, but the headache is still behind, as the saying goes, there will be a plague after the catastrophe, and when the flood recedes, the plague or something will break out.

With the level of medical care in this era, if a plague breaks out, it will be the rhythm of total annihilation, and if that is the case, his ambition will be in vain, and even one state will not be able to govern it, let alone others.

'If there is a plague or smallpox, it will be a god!' Yuwen Wen thought so, the bill refreshment effect was very good, and he began to think differently.

Yu Wenwen is not worried about the possible war in Yanji, and he doesn't think there is a problem with Wuzhou, if Chen Jun dares to make up his mind, he will definitely make it unforgettable, not to mention that there are a lot of arrows prepared.

If we can survive this hurdle and smoothly harvest the autumn harvest, it will be relieved, and we will organize manpower to open up the wasteland after entering the autumn grain, and the cultivated land area will double in the spring of next year.

This is a step that Yuwenwen has set at the beginning of the year, the only problem is that he must be able to survive the rainy season this year, as long as the start is smooth, the follow-up work will be carried out better, thinking about his mood is much better.

So he decided to deal with the worst-case scenario.

Inexplicably to this era, he was shocked to find that his new wife was about to be forcibly occupied by the desolate and faint king in a few days, and he survived; Defecting to his father, Ke'anzhou, he faced the danger of being attacked on his back, and he survived; went to Chang'an to be a hostage and returned safely with Yang Jian, and he also survived.

Isn't it just a dead harvest? Isn't it just a great flood and a plague? Bankrupt, so what!

The breach of the river embankment led to the destruction of crops and then the failure of the harvest, and the Yangtze River flooded Xiyang City and led to the outbreak of the plague.

The so-called the more things you don't want to happen, the more it will happen, Yu Wenwen doesn't want to burn incense and pray for heaven to walk a good way to live, if he is really bankrupt, he will definitely not go to the rooftop, he wants to mobilize all his forces to 'make a comeback'.

This year's harvest is out, then the harvest is out, there are still a few months before the end of the year, Lao Tzu and the soldiers are all taken out to grab food! Robbed Chen Guo and then robbed the mountain barbarians in the mountains of Jiangbei boundary!

The food rationing system was implemented, and the rations of each household were strictly limited, and if the autumn harvest was not harvested, the grain had to be distributed to the people by the state treasury.

Immediately after the flood, the people were mobilized to clean up, and the system of sitting in the square was implemented, and any sick family must immediately report to the government, and those who concealed it and did not report it were driven out of Xiyang City together with their neighbors.

No rats are allowed in the city, one must be seen and one must be killed, stagnant water must be drained to avoid breeding mosquitoes and flies to spread diseases, drinking water sources must be kept clean, dead poultry and livestock are not allowed to eat, and all are disposed of in a centralized manner.

The drainage ditches must be cleaned, the wooden buildings that have been soaked in the water and moldy must be inspected, and the city walls must also be inspected so as not to be blistered by the big water, and the wall foundation is hidden danger of collapse.

The food snatched back from Jiangnan cannot be swallowed alone, although there is a lot, it must also be distributed to other participating armies, and the remaining food is given priority to meet the needs of Bazhou soldiers.

There are many lakes, so there are many aquatic products, and if the food is not enough to eat, use lotus root and water chestnut to top, and if you need firewood to cook and cook, then organize soldiers to go up the mountain to chop firewood, anyway, the soldiers who are transferred back cannot be idle.

If the river embankment is destroyed, we will organize manpower to repair it, and if there is a shortage of stones, we will send people to quarry, anyway, if we don't participate in labor, we will have no food to eat, and we will take care of it, and thousands of Chen army prisoners will not be able to stay in prison and become moldy.

As the so-called cash-for-work is concerned, there are still a few months before the food is cut off, enough time to mobilize manpower to do things, and there are warships that can organize people to fish and shrimp, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, and it is really not possible to pull out the thousands of piglets in the pig farm to be slaughtered.

Yu Wenwen recalled the modern knowledge he knew, and wrote down all the countermeasures he could think of, and soon a blank sheet of paper was full of writing, he carefully lifted the paper, dried the ink, and then folded it and put it away.

Strengthened his determination to make a comeback, and the heavy rain outside didn't look so annoying, just when Yuwenwen was about to take a nap, he heard a report from outside the fish tent: "Lord Lang, Zhou Envoy Jun has something important to discuss." (To be continued.) )
