Chapter 0159 People are not as good as heaven
Uncle Ye Yan may never have dreamed that he muttered so casually, and it was really a prophecy!
Since June 20, the torrential rain has not stopped.
After eight days in a row, Li Boyan felt that something was wrong. The lakeside water near Zhuangzi is almost full!
Li Boyan sighed in his heart, I'm obedient, won't it flood?
On the one hand, he mobilized the tenants and migrant workers in the Zhuangzi to build a low dam on the side of the lake by the Zhuangzi with sacks of sand, praying that the heavy rain would stop quickly, and at the same time, he made some preparations for flood control on the Zhuangzi.
He didn't know that in fact, the terrain on this side of the lake was already very high, and even so, the water had risen to the shore. If the rain does not stop, this year's summer harvest in Yongzhou will be gone.
Not only Yongzhou, but also the entire Jinghu South Road, are pouring rain, crops are flooded, some floods are serious, the water is almost to the knees, some people, do not dare to sleep at night, run up the mountain to take refuge, for fear that the rain has been falling, and then people are drowning.
This sudden flood hit and ravaged the entire area of Jinghu South Road.
In the southwest of Hunan, it is still the lightest, and Li Boyan can't imagine how many casualties there will be in Yiyang, Tanzhou and other places in the event of landslides and mudslides.
In this backward Da Song Dynasty, natural disasters are simply a thunderous blow, making you unable to guard against them. When it rained for the ninth day in a row, Li Boyan felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and the twenty-nine big ships that had been docked at the port of Liuzi Street in Yongzhou, loaded with full cash boxes, rode the wind and waves and went north.
Li Kangda and several aunts got on the boat together with the two dogs, the three guns, and the honeysuckle.
Li Kangda can be regarded as being ordered to be in danger, the ships that go to buy grain are all dispatched by him, this matter should have been Li Boyan, but Li Boyan can't go, if he leaves, I'm afraid the whole Yongzhou will be in chaos.
Dongfeng Logistics, which was built by the power of a state, in other words, every plate and steel piece on this ship was contributed by the people of Yongzhou. If Li Boyan is like the boss of the tannery Yellow Crane, he runs away with hatred, and Dongfeng Logistics' reputation in Yongzhou will be ruined.
Suzhou has Duan Jing, a helper who has taken root, and Li Kangda's grain purchase can also go more smoothly, but Li Boyan is not worried.
Less than half an hour after the merchant ships on Liuzi Street left, many people from the Yongzhou Business Alliance came to the door.
The water was getting deeper and deeper, and the city was almost knee-high, and the carriages on the road were struggling to move forward.
"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, do a good job, bring a few members of our family with you, and take refuge together."
If this rain does not weaken, in less than three days, if it goes again, I am afraid it will be too late. Therefore, many people touched the door, with gold and silver, and prepared to take Li Boyan's big boat.
On the pier outside Liuzi Street, in fact, there are no more large ships, except for some rafts, which Li Boyan prepared to use for first aid and backup, all the merchant ships have left Yongzhou.
"You're late, and all the ships are out of port."
"What!" The group of people below were stunned, staring at Li Boyan and exclaiming in disbelief.
"The ship is gone? Why! Why! ”
"Li Gongzi, you must have lied to us, right?"
Some small boats sailed into the Xiangjiang River in the torrential rain, which was simply fatal, and only this kind of big boat could withstand such bad weather, and now they are all gone? Isn't it about human life!
"No, it won't! You must have lied to us! ”
Li Boyan looked at the desperate appearance of these people and said: "The situation in Yongzhou is not the worst, these ships should have a greater role." ”
"That's our Yongzhou ship! Li Gongzi, how can you be like this! ”
More and more people rushed to the Li family's house, feeling uneasy, and the fear of death was inevitable for everyone.
Even Zhao Bingchen rushed to the Li family's house with the people from the Yongzhou camp.
"Da Lang, Da Lang of the Li family! What about people? What about people! ”
Li Boyan looked at Zhao Bingchen, who was looking forward to it, and said coldly: "Zhao Zhizhou doesn't preside over the overall situation of flood fighting, what are you doing in my mansion with so many soldiers?" ”
"No, the water is getting bigger and bigger, hurry up and transfer ten merchant ships to this government, and this government will go to move rescue troops."
"Are you going to move the rescuers, or are you going to take refuge?"
Zhao Bingchen's eyes were split, and he shouted: "I don't have time to talk to you!" Give me the boat! ”
"I'm sorry, Zhao Zhizhou, I can't do anything about it."
"What words! What can be done, the merchant ships at the port of Liuzi Street ......"
Zhao Bingchen subconsciously looked at the merchants in the city gathered below.
"Zhao Zhizhou, the boats have all left."
"What! Then why are you still here! ”
Li Boyan sneered: "It's not like you, if something happens, you will slip away." ”
Suddenly, there was a few people outside. Zhao Ruyu glanced at the people in the hall.
"Bo Yan."
Li Boyan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Ruyu, Chen Fuliang, Ye Shi, and Cai Youxue all coming, he asked, "Teacher, didn't you leave with Chen Lao?" ”
"Yongzhou is flooded, I wait to leave, what should the people in the city do?"
Chen Fuliang took off his hat and snorted coldly: "Who are you as an old man?" Even if he is not in his position, he can't ignore Li Min's life. ”
Li Boyan glanced at Zhao Bingchen and said, "But there are some people who are in their positions and do not seek their own politics." ”
"You...... What a word! This house is...... Is it to go...... Moving rescuers is not fleeing! Zhao Xianggong, this government has no intention of abandoning the people of Yongzhou. ”
"Okay, Bingchen, you are also the governor of a state, so don't make any gestures at such a big time. The flooding caused by such torrential rains is not to the point where the state officials have fled. Hurry up and take the people of the Yongzhou camp and bring all the people who stay in the city to the West Mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to get out if it rains for two nights in a row. ”
Chen Fuliang added: "In addition, let the fleeing people not be greedy for money, just bring enough food, and remember to be fast." By the way, have the counties notified? ”
Zhao Bingchen shook his head with an ugly face.
Chen Fuliang frowned, and almost scolded you for being an official.
"Bo Yan, taking advantage of the fact that the water is not big at the moment, send people to the counties to give a place, and quickly transfer the people to the mountains, Yongzhou is lush with vegetation, such a flood, the mountains and rocks will not collapse. By the way, let those who were sent not come back, follow and take refuge in the mountains, and wait for the water to fall, and then discuss disaster relief. ”
Li Boyan said: "The people were sent two hours ago, and I believe that some county orders will not be without these consciousnesses, and they are probably already mobilized." ”
Zhao Ruyu and Chen Fuliang are worthy of being people with some skills, and they immediately know how to resist this natural disaster. The people of the Yongzhou battalion went out one after another to inform the city, so that the people stranded in the city took refuge on the west mountain near the Liuzi Temple.
It was Chen Fuliang who glanced at Li Boyan with some surprise, so alert, he was sent out two hours ago? Really?
"Regular, actual, the two of you and Yi Xun got on the boat, and quickly went to Jiangnan to collect food, the most terrible flood is not now, but the relief after the water recedes, if there is no food, I am afraid that there are displaced people everywhere. By the way, what about letting Weng confiscate with his son? ”
Li Boyan said: "Fang Weng and Zi confiscated have already taken a boat to Beijing to report the disaster, as well as the merchant ships on Liuzi Street...... Before, I asked the teacher to go to the port with Chen Lao, but now I have brought money and goods to buy disaster food. So, we can't go if we want to go. ”
Chen Fuliang stared at Li Boyan, squinted slightly, and asked, "How much did you buy?" ”
"It's not much, the Li family Zhuangzi has 600,000 yuan, all of them have been taken out, and they are ready to buy grain."
Zhao Ruyu frowned and said, "Buy 400,000 stones? So much, did Yongzhou use so much for disaster relief? ”
Li Boyan's eyes were like torches.
"What if it's the entire Jinghu South Road?"
The hall was eerily quiet, except for the sound of rain outside the house......
