"But the instructions given all point to one possibility, and that is heavy rain, heavy rain on an unprecedented scale."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... You'll have to send more people to the city to deliver the news, and if it's any later, I'm worried...... Now we don't have much time left. ”

Chen Mu nodded.

He already understood what Cao Lao meant, he thought about it for a while, and waved his hand at the men standing in the hall.

"Immediately call the officials of the Ministry of Works and the overseer of the government, I have important matters to order."

The subordinates immediately responded and hurriedly retreated.

After his subordinates left, Chen Mu asked when the flood disaster was about to break out.

"Three days, three days at most, and then there will be heavy rain in those two towns, and the heavy rain will be followed by flooding."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you send news now, we can move the people who live around the river as soon as possible."

Chen Mu thought the same way, in order to avoid floods and injuries, the best way was to move those people away.

"I will arrange for people to go to those two towns, and if there is a flood and heavy rain, I will reward you and your senior brother and sister, if it doesn't break out, it will be a good thing."

Chen Mu sighed and said so.

Although if there had not been heavy rain, he would have been prepared in advance, and he would have been accused by the city officials of wasting money and money and listening to the rumors of others.

But Chen Mu still felt quite lucky.

After all, the absence of heavy rains means that there will be no loss of money for the people.

After learning the news, Chen Mu did not delay, he immediately arranged manpower and prepared to send people to the two cities.

When the ministers of the court heard about this, they even questioned Chen Mu in the court about the reason why he suddenly arranged for people to go to those two cities.

And Chen Mu also told the ministers of the court and the central government the reason for his dispatch, and the ministers heard that Chen Mu said that heavy rain was about to break out in the two cities.

The reason why people were arranged to go to the two cities was to prepare for the possibility of flooding.

The ministers were all surprised, and some even pursed their lips and muttered in a low voice.

"It's just that I heard two charlatans say this, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are too easy to trust others."

"Yes, Your Highness the Prince, there has never been a record of flooding in those two cities."

"Although there were occasional heavy rains, the amount of rain did not cause flooding in those two cities."

Chen Mu shook his head, he couldn't judge the sudden disasters that might break out according to the experience of the past years.

For example, the two towns that had previously erupted in mudslides and landslides have not been recorded in the county annals of Chau County in the past years.

Nowadays, however, with the expansion of farming, the trees on the mountains have been cut down, and the land used to be planted with vegetation has become deserted.

The wind blows up sand and dust into the river, and the river is raised, and the more the town is not in a densely populated area, the more likely it is to be flooded.

Chen Mu roughly explained his inference to everyone.

But the crowd pouted noncommittally.

Some people even questioned the necessity of Chen Mu to establish the weather monitoring government on this occasion.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the scholars of the Central Committee of the DPRK will also observe the weather conditions to judge what the weather is like in various places, and it is really unnecessary for us to establish such a government office to monitor the weather."

"I heard that the three people you brought back, Your Royal Highness the Prince, are charlatans who make a living by fortune-telling? How can their words be credulous? ”

"None of the scholars said that the two cities were about to be flooded."

These people of the capital families do not care about the situation in other continents and counties, as long as there are no floods or other serious disasters in the capital.

In their opinion, there was really no need for the weather monitoring government to exist.

Chen Mu glanced up at several adults and said.

"I set up the weather monitoring office for my own reasons."

"Are you questioning the purpose of the weather monitoring office I set up now, and I want to handle the government affairs on my behalf?"

The ministers of the court and the central government were all stunned, and then they all fell to their knees in panic.

When Chen Mu saw them like this, he sneered.

He didn't bother to continue talking nonsense with these people.

After waving his hand and dispersing the people, he also returned to his study, ready to count the men and officials, and send people to the two towns as soon as possible.

Send people to those two towns. The people were to be moved, preferably to nearby high ground, such as a mountain, or to some other relatively safe city.

Chen Mu sent several officials, and those officials were quite important to him.

After hearing about Chen Mu's plan, he did not question Chen Mu's decision, but quickly cleaned up, left the capital according to Chen Mu's instructions, and went to the two cities.

At the same time, Chen Mu learned that the two cities were about to break out into floods, and the news of sending people to those two cities to deal with the flood disasters also spread in Beijing.

When someone heard that Chen Mu was going to move those people out of the city and to the high ground, and he also had to allocate money to prepare for the impending disaster, some people immediately did not understand.

"Before this disaster broke out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already spent a sum of silver, if the disaster did not break out, wouldn't this silver be spent in vain?"

"To be honest, it's a good thing not to break out, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will allocate the silver now, do we still have so much silver in the official mansion of Great Xia?"

"I heard that the money was allocated to build improvised camps on the high ground near those two towns to house the people, isn't this a waste of money and labor?"

"If there had not been a disaster, not only would the people have been delayed in farming, but those camps would have been built in vain."

The thoughts of the people are also the thoughts of the people of the court, and immediately some people preached this incident in Beijing, saying that Chen Mu believed in the three charlatans too much.

At the same time, Cao Lao and his senior brothers and younger brothers were also questioned by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

After all, these three people were born as warlocks, and when Chen Mu brought the three of them back to the capital, some people questioned their origins.

However, because Chen Mu's decree was quite low-key, these three people never appeared in front of people, so although those ministers of the DPRK and China questioned these three, they never troubled these three.

But the situation is different now.

Because the prince listened to them, he even sent people to those two cities in advance!

The adults in the city realized that these three people had a lot of say in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Immediately, some ministers in the city made up their minds and wanted to get through the relationship with Cao Lao and Cao Lao's senior brothers.

In addition to those who are ingenious and drill camps, there are also some people in the city who are quite high-ranking families, or scholars who notice that something is wrong.

They immediately entered the palace to meet them, wanting Chen Mumo to believe the words of those charlatans.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, although I don't know why you were deceived by those charlatans, they are just some charlatans after all."
