Chapter 61: Floods

Castle Lord's Mansion

"Sixth Master, something is wrong. "Fang Huai www.biquge.info, who has always been steady, found Lin Feng who was resting.

"What's wrong? in a hurry?" Lin Feng looked puzzled, he rarely saw the chief captain Fang Huai like this.

"The water level of the Mula River has risen rapidly in the past few days, and many places near the Mula River in our Red Maple Ridge have been submerged, and according to the current rate of water level rise, it will flood to the side of Red Maple City in three days at most. Fang Huai said quickly.

"Now the water level has almost spread to Fengjia Village. Gaojia Village, Yangjia Village, Dingjia Village, Baojia Village, mining areas, steel mills, and paper mills are all unsafe now. Fang Huai continued: "The remaining five villages, Majia Village, Wujia Village, Zhangjia Village, Lujia Village, and Zhujia Village, are in the east, and the terrain is very good and safe. ”

"So serious!" Lin Feng thought for a while and commanded. "Pass on my order, the people of Fengjia Village, Gaojia Village, Yangjia Village, Dingjia Village, Baojia Village, mining area, and steel mill, if there are no relatives to take refuge, all evacuate to Hongfeng City, and your escort team will assist you. ”

Red Maple City belongs to the plain area, the west side of the terrain is extremely low, there have been several major floods in history, half of the Red Maple Ridge has been flooded.

Except for the five villages on higher ground to the east, only the tall walls of Red Maple City can withstand the flood.

According to the records, in a few years, or a few decades, the Mula River will usher in a catastrophic flood, not only the Red Maple Ridge, the Tyumen Ridge in the upstream, and the Flame Collar in the lower reaches are all hard-hit areas, and the Orc Empire on the other side of the Mula River will only be more serious, after all, most of the Mula River is in the Orc Empire.

"High-speed rail, you take a few people, find an open place, and prepare to settle the affected people. Lin Feng called many servants and maids.

"Yes. The high-speed rail nodded in response.

"Everyone else, all go and harvest the grain, and tomorrow it must all be harvested. Lin Feng said loudly, now every second counts.

"Yes. The servants and maids replied with a loud voice.

Viscount Sadong Palace

"Oh no, Lord Viscount, the flood is coming. The housekeeper Sha Yushen hurriedly found Viscount Shadong.

"What? Viscount Shadong was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. The housekeeper Sha Yu replied in the affirmative.

"The last flood was three years ago, so why is there such a short interval this time?" Viscount Shadong said in shock.

"Hurry up and find someone to harvest all the grain in our Viscount's Mansion. Viscount Shadong suddenly remembered that his own grain had not yet been harvested, and he suddenly became anxious.

This situation is not only happening in the Viscount of Shadong, but also in the other five barons, the grain in the field has just matured, and they have not yet had time to harvest in a hurry, and if they are flooded like this, they will not be harvested.

-------

Truckloads of grain were harvested and transported to the warehouse of the city lord's mansion.

In the city lord's mansion, whether it was a servant or a maid, all mobilized and threw themselves into the army of harvesting grain.

At night, the entire cultivated area is brightly lit, and the servants and maids take turns to rest and fight all night, not only on the side of the city lord's mansion, but also in other cultivated areas, which are brightly lit.

Early in the morning of the third day, when the grain harvest was finished, many of the servants and maids fell to the ground from exhaustion.

Lin Feng gathered in the city lord's mansion to work as a wage worker for the peasants.

"You have done a good job this year, I summoned you this time, not for anything else, but to exchange for the original promise of the master. Lin Feng paused for a moment and continued: "I said at the beginning, as long as you do a good job, there will be another reward. ”

Lin Feng motioned, and the servants brought out bags of grain.

And Jun Yao came over with a large plate, and there were many small bags on it.

"Each person will receive a sack of grain and go to Junyao to receive a bag of money. ”

One by one, the hired workers came up to receive the grain and money bags, and some of the hired workers who were more anxious opened the money bags on the spot and saw the silver coins inside, in addition to this month's salary, there was also a month's usual salary.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Lord Lord... ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord... ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord... ”

Many hired workers happily thanked Lin Feng.

"If there is anyone who wants to continue working next year, we will give priority. Lin Feng continued to promise.

"I will continue to come next year. ”

"I'll bring my boy with me next year. ”

"Next year my whole family will come. ”

Lin Feng nodded, signaling for the hired workers who had finished receiving their things to leave.

Red Maple City

Lin Feng walked on the street, and many pedestrians on the road looked worried.

"Fauber, where is the flood now? Lin Feng asked Fu Bo beside him.

"It has spread to Gaojia Village, Fengjia Village, mining areas, and paper mills have all been flooded. Fauber replied in a low voice. "Gaojia Village, Dingjia Village, the steel mill will be flooded today, and the flood will spread to Hongfeng City tomorrow. ”

Soon Lin Feng walked to the resettlement area for the victims.

Some of the tents, large and small, have already begun to be occupied, and victims continue to arrive, and the high-speed rail is registering the new arrivals one by one.

"How many people came?" Lin Feng asked.

"At present, there are more than 300 people, most of whom are from Gaojia Village and Fengjia Village. The high-speed rail replied: "There will be more today." ”

"Can you keep up with the supplies?"

"Enough. ”

"Hmm. Lin Feng nodded, in order to cope with this flood, the City Lord's Mansion purchased a lot of daily necessities, and at least distributed them to the victims for free.

Evening.

Lin Feng walked to the top of the city wall, the four gates of Red Maple City had all been blocked, and from time to time there were members of the guard patrolling beside the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, looking at it at a glance.

There was no sign of the water village in the distance, the grain in the fields had been harvested, and there were roots and leaves that had fallen in the fields everywhere, and from time to time people came from afar, and because the gate was sealed, they could only climb the ladder over the city wall and enter the city.

Early the next morning.

Fauber came to report that the flood had reached Red Maple City.

Lin Feng came to the city wall again.

The flood had submerged a third of the city gates, and outside the city walls, the flood had already overflowed, and only the heads of the tall red maple trees were still exposed.

Although the city wall of Red Maple City has a long history, the quality is absolutely good, and there is no leakage and water mixing phenomenon has been found so far.

After a few days of panicking, when the flood finally came, Lin Feng found that some people were still laughing together and discussing the flood situation, some people said that after two days, the flood would recede, and some people said that in three or four days, the flood would recede.

The results were unexpected.

By the third day, the water level had risen to half of the Red Maple City gate, and there was no sign of abating.

At the same time, Lin Feng has been eating very badly these days.

Fresh vegetables began to run out of fresh vegetables in the city, and the outside of the city was flooded, and even if the floodwaters subsided, fresh vegetables would be in short supply for at least a few months.
