It rained for most of the day.

This was a heavy rain that covered almost most of the whole of Dachu, and many desperate people sang and danced in the heavy rain regardless of it.

It's raining!

It's finally raining!

After four months of drought, many people have deeply understood that agriculture is the foundation of everything, and those displaced people simply stop wandering, anyway, now that many places are empty, it is still easy to find a place to stay for the time being.

Unlike the joy of the people, there were many courtiers and Yao Wenzhan. As soon as the proverb "the flood surged" came out, it immediately rained heavily, as if it was about to be verified urgently.

Fortunately, it only rained for half a day, and Yao Wenzhan's heart was a little lighter.

But as if God was innocent and refused to let him live a comfortable day, the palace people came to report, and Gu Mang, who had been dormant in the northeast, suddenly launched an offensive and attacked in a big way, and Wu Weihou was caught off guard, and ate the two guards in the northeast at once, and Wu Weihou asked for reinforcements.

Yao Wenzhan really can't sit in the Jinluan Palace now, the northeast is too close to the capital, and if you are not careful, you may attack the capital.

He secretly resented that Wu Wei was not worthy of his name, and he led 60,000 soldiers and horses for nothing, but he was repeatedly attacked.

But now he didn't have the time to think about this, Yao Wenzhan hurriedly summoned his old father-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law and a group of henchmen into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

On the second day of the Great Court Meeting, the Emperor announced the following measures:

1. All localities opened warehouses to release grain, distributed autumn crop seeds, and re-registered household registration, so that the exiled people could settle down on the spot. Taking advantage of the rain now, find a suitable place to resume farming and production, and open up the source to stop losses.

2. Each household shall be requisitioned for military service or conscription, and all localities shall be ordered to clean up the rivers and build and strengthen embankments to prepare for flood control.

3. Urgently ordered Jiang Erlang, the general of the Southern Expedition, to transfer half of his troops and horses to the north to support Wuweihou.

At the court meeting, the first two articles were unanimously supported by the courtiers, but the third one was opposed by many people, thinking that it was a bad move.

The distance from the south to the northeast and the distance from the capital to the northeast, there is no need to repeat which is farther, this route runs thousands of miles from south to north, even if the general of the southern expedition is brave and good at fighting, one is tired, the other is to wait for work, not to mention that the east wall is not made up to the west wall, and he gave Gu Mang's head in vain.

Yao Wenzhan tried his best to defy public opinion and did not change this decision.

In fact, he thinks that the best thing about these three is the move of transferring soldiers from the south to the north, let Jiang Erlang and Gu Mang go dog-eat-dog, it's good if they are dead!

The minister's persuasion was fruitless, and he went home one by one, who can not understand Yao Wenzhan's little selfishness, but at the moment of the great enemy, the lesser of two evils!

Long live them, they have always been arbitrary and have never focused on the overall situation.

Yao Wenzhan transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Battalion and the Praetorian Guard to support Wu Weihou, and ordered that Wu Weihou must support the assistance of the Southern Expedition General, otherwise, come to see you!

But not to mention, these three directives really stabilized the situation to some extent.

Although the cost of settling down is one dollar per family, it is better than the whole family being in danger.

It's not that life really can't go on, who is especially willing to rebel!

Da Chu really had a short-lived prosperity.

The faces of the people who had been sad for many days finally had a smile on their faces.

The smile on Yao Wenzhan's face had not yet dissipated, and it was rumored that Jiang Dalang led his troops to attack Zhou Shaobu.

The Emperor didn't tilt his nose.

Lao Tzu is bent on stability here, you don't fight sooner or later, why don't you choose this time?

Zhou Shao is also wronged, the two armies have been facing each other for many years, and they have always been very friendly.

The Jiang family was like an unpredictable prophet, storing a large amount of ice and horse grass in advance, and throughout the winter, Zhou Shao watched them busy as dogs, chiseling ice and mowing grass. In the early spring, he actually leveled the land and planted a lot of things that he had never seen before.

Frightened, Zhou Shao hurriedly summoned his staff, is this Jiang family so abnormal that he wants to start a war?

Everyone shook their heads almost in unison, no way, they just kept digging pits in the station, even if it was a horse trap or some kind of fortification, we didn't take the initiative to provoke them. The scout came and said that the pits were neatly stacked with ice.

This time we can't go to war, is Jiang Dalang trying to use ice cubes to smash us to death? Or do you want to burn us to death with those horse grasses?

However, Jiang Jiajun's behavior was really weird, just in case, they also did the same, and saved some ice cubes and horse grass.

As a result, when the spring drought came to an end, I realized it and figured out the intentions of others, but it was too late.

Now there is a trench away, and the grass is green on that side, and the yellow is on this side. Zhou Shao's heart was a little worried, could this Jiang family be able to pinch it? Know that you are prepared for this year's drought in advance?

Seeing people eating and chewing, things are getting less and less.

Zhou Shao was anxious to get on fire, he was now suffering from the enemy on his back, and his neighbors were also affected by the drought, so he often ran to his territory to harass him. And although he has an army of 100,000, he doesn't dare to really fight against Da Chu while fighting against a country.

His life is getting worse and worse, people can still dig some wild vegetables and grass roots when they are hungry, but war horses can't.

A few days ago, taking advantage of the lax guards on the Jiang family's side, they sent a few people to sneak over to beat some horses, and the result was ......

It's a war,!

…………

Yao Wenzhan looked at the dark and dreary sky, his face was green and.

It was like a leak, and it had been raining endlessly since the beginning of the day.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of a sudden rainstorm, you are afraid of a drizzle.

It's been raining for almost 4 days, and it feels like I'm going to make up for the 4 months of rain all at once, sometimes stopping for a while, and then going on and on.

Yao Wenzhan's heart went from joy at the beginning to panic to anger now!

In just 4 days, 2 palace maids and 3 eunuchs have been beaten to death.

Yao Wenzhan didn't seem to be angry, and slapped the concubine who came to intercede with the palace maid, which put everyone in the palace in danger.

Everyone couldn't figure it out, what happened to the emperor? After such a long drought, shouldn't we be happy if it rains today? Why is Banzai more angry than not raining for 4 months in a row?

Now that rain is a taboo, even water is not allowed, who touched the moldy head and deserved to be killed, didn't see that even the concubine was slapped for intercession?

Gradually, with the downpour for days, those who had been happy for a while because of the rain also realized that something was wrong.

When the rainfall is concentrated, even the palace, which is said to never accumulate water, begins to be flooded.

Bad news kept coming into the palace.

The water swelled and washed away the newly built fields, and the three nearby counties were affected to varying degrees.

The river was diverted again, carrying a large amount of sediment to the lower reaches of the river, affecting at least five counties.

……

The water conservancy projects that had just begun to be built were all washed away by the surging flood before they were formed, and Yao Wenzhan began to listen to the disaster situation, and later simply forbade the palace people to report such things again.

Drinking and getting drunk all day long, occasionally the palace people heard him muttering: "Dulong destroys Yao, the flood is surging, haha, what a ...... The flood is surging! ”
