The nineteenth day of the first month. Diaphragm

The icy rain lasted for nearly two days.

Under the bitter pleading of countless Yandi people, it finally came to an end.

It's almost time.

The sky over Fuyang City was still cloudy.

Gusts of howling cold wind whistled through the streets and alleys from time to time.

It's like a force. The man's scalp is numb and his heart is restless.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the brightly lit carrier hall. Diaphragm

Xu Yi's fingers whitely clenched the teacup in his hand.

With his eyelids lowered, he sat upright on the Taishi chair without saying a word.

In front of it.

Yang Xian'an's face turned pale, and he kept wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.

The mouth kept reporting the news from the two counties and seventeen cities.

"The fields of Fuyang City and Jusu City are seriously waterlogged, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest."

"The major families have formed a manpower to drain the water outward." Diaphragm

"The tributaries of the Yanghe River outside the city are now overflowing."

"Sun County is afraid that the tributaries of the Yanghe River will be difficult to support, and more than 8,000 people, including government officials, county soldiers, and people, have been mobilized to go to the tributaries of the Yanghe River."

"And he himself sits at the south gate of Fuyang City to discuss with the heads of the major families."

"The upper reaches of the Sangan River are turbulent and there is a risk of the levee bursting."

"The three cities of Yanjiao, Pan County, and Xialuo County ordered a total of more than 300 government officials, more than 1,200 county soldiers, and more than 3,000 people."

"More than 1,000 young people organized by the elders of the three towns and villages, a total of more than 6,000 people."

"Half of them are now reinforcing the embankment at the upper entrance of the city." Diaphragm

"The other half are busy dredging the lower reaches of Pan County."

"Binh Hoa Town, Quang Ninh City, was affected by heavy rain and a mudslide disaster occurred."

"Half of the town has been affected."

"By the time of the visit to Malaysia, more than 300 people had been killed, and nearly 1,000 others were missing."

"The Quang Ninh County Command has mobilized all the government officials and garrisoned nearly 500 people, and requisitioned more than 500 people to rescue them."

"The four cities of Anle, Hunu, Luxian, and Pinggu in Yuyang County stopped raining yesterday, and heavy snow fell in the sky."

"By midnight, the snow was less than half a wheel." Diaphragm

「......」

"Now except for the two cities of Yuyang, Quanzhou and Wuqing, where they have not returned, the rest have returned."

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Yang Xian settled his already wet arm and bowed deeply.

The words fell.

Xu Yi still clenched the tea cup in his hand, lowered his eyelids and sat on the Taishi chair without saying a word.

It seems that he has not yet recovered from the continuous bad news. Diaphragm

As early as the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, when lightning and thunder roared and wind and rain first fell, Xu Yi had already predicted that Yandi would be afraid of natural disasters.

Even.

It is already well prepared for the next natural disaster.

But he never expected it.

The first natural disaster was not the expected cold spring.

It's rain!

To be precise, it is a rain that has not been encountered in a hundred years in Yandi. Diaphragm

The biggest problem in front of him now is not the accumulation of water in the fields of the two cities of Fuyang and Juyong, or even the overflow of the rivers caused by the accumulation of water, and the lack of crops.

Not to mention the heavy snow pressure encountered by the four cities of Anle, Hunu, Luxian, and Pinggu, and the resulting crop yield reduction, or even no harvest.

It's the Sangan River!

The Nasangan River is one of the important tributaries of the Hai River.

Because it flows upstream through the Loess Plateau, soil erosion is serious, and the river is often silted.

As a result, flooding often occurs in the middle and lower reaches.

After entering Yan from the city of Yan, it passes through the two cities of Pan County and Xialuo, and reaches the confluence of the Yanghe River outside the city of Fuyang. Diaphragm

After leaving Shanggu County, the Yongding River was formed into Yuyang County.

If there is a problem with the Sanggan River, which is located in the city.

I am afraid that it will sweep through the three cities of Yanyi, Panxian, and Xialuo in an instant.

Directly or indirectly, more than 100,000 people in the three cities suffered heavy losses.

And even more.

It is very likely to affect the Yanghe River.

So that the whole swallow land instantly became an ocean. Diaphragm

Ultimately.

This once-in-a-century heavy rain was too big and too big.

Today, Kamiya-gun is flooded.

But on the contrary.

This year's river dredging has not yet begun.

The dredging of the river over the years has been due to various things such as the hiding population of the family and the powerful squires.

As a direct result, the number of conscripts and actual conscripts is very different. Diaphragm

As a result, the dredging of the past years has always been unsatisfactory.

And now.

The families and powerful squires rescued the crops in their fields.

He completely doesn't care about the lives of others.

Drain the water outwards regardless of it.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two. Diaphragm

Maybe it's more than 100 breaths.

Everywhere is full of heaviness and oppressive feeling in the side hall of the carrier hall study.

Xu Yi slowly raised his eyelids.

There was a faint flash of coldness in his clear eyes.

"What is the situation at the South Gate?"

Xu Yi's voice was full of coldness and asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to the sixth master." Diaphragm

"I heard that except for Zhu, Fan, and Dong."

"The rest of the families and powerful squires have all arrived at the South City Gate."

"I'm arguing with Sun Junshou."

Yang Xian'an didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly replied.

with its strategy.

How can you not see the impact of this catastrophe on Xu Yi's plan?

If this matter is not handled properly, it may inevitably cause great damage to the foundation. Diaphragm

At this time, those big families and powerful squires were still doing their own thing as always.

What if this is not a direct touch?

I want to come to Zhu, Fan, and Dong because I see through this.

Therefore, the Zhu, Fan, and Dong families would rather do things that waste energy, material resources, and manpower in the eyes of others with a big loss of harvest.

I don't want to follow the crowd and do things that harm others and benefit myself.

That's what I think about.

Yang Xianxin couldn't help but have some admiration for Zhu, Fan, and Dong. Diaphragm

Notice.

The three families of Zhu, Fan, and Dong are known as the first, second, and third families in Shanggu County.

And the amount of land owned by these three families is naturally enough to be worthy of the people's name for them.

And now.

The three families of Zhu, Fan, and Dong are under the cover of multiple factors such as huge interests and "the law does not hold the public accountable".

You can still get to the heart of the problem through layers of fog.

And how is this not admirable. Diaphragm

"Oh?"

"What are Zhu, Fan, and Dong busy with now?"

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi asked as usual when he heard this.

"Go back to the sixth master."

"Zhu, Fan, and Dong are now busy cleaning up the rivers around their fields."

"And none of the three opened to drain the water from beginning to end." Diaphragm

Yang Xian'an calmed down for a moment and replied.

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally.

Then he got up and untied a token the size of a child's palm from his waist.

The token was golden throughout.

It is engraved with the word "Yan" in a seal body.

The back is carved with a lifelike four-clawed green dragon.

"With this order, go to the king's camp." Diaphragm

"Order Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian to immediately raise 20,000 troops!"

"Each person has two horses, five days of dry food, and a waist knife!"

"Go to the south gate and wait for five miles."

Xu Yi handed over the token in his hand to Yang Xian'an with an expressionless face.

"Sixth Master ......"

"This ......"

"This ......"

Yang Xian'an felt the heaviness of the Yan Wang Order in his hand.

looked at Xu Yi with a blank face.

He stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Xu Yi ignored the panic in Yang Xian'an's expression.

He commanded again in a deep voice, "In addition, order the quartermaster Yu Chongwen."

"Order him to immediately lead 1,000 soldiers, transport 50,000 stones of grain and grass, 2,000 stones of typhoid herbs, and all the marching tents to the source of the Sanggan River."

Hear this. Diaphragm

Yang Xian'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he quickly bowed his hand and said, "Obey!"

After Yang Xian'an's figure completely disappeared in the study room of the side hall.

Xu Yi made a strange gesture with both hands.

After counting the interest.

The whistle implying a certain melody came out of the study room of the side hall of the carrying hall.

Not much. Diaphragm

The figure of the leader of the heart of conscience quietly appeared outside the study of the side hall.

"Enter."

Don't wait for him to knock on the door.

In the closed side hall study, Xu Yi's voice of consent came from it.

"Yes."

The Leader of the Conscience agreed, and gently pushed the door in.

"Rumor Lu Wensu quickly came to see Lone." Diaphragm

Without waiting for the leader of the conscience to salute, Xu Yi quickly said in a deep voice.

"Obey!"

The leader of the heart of inquiry paused slightly, bowed his hand and quickly retreated.

After the figure of the leader of the heart completely disappeared in the study of the side hall.

Xu Yi walked to the windowsill with an expressionless face.

With a slight push of both hands, the closed windowsill is completely opened.

At that time. Diaphragm

The sky was overcast like night.

The Dao Dao was fierce, and the cold wind continued to howl between heaven and earth.

The oppressive atmosphere before the storm is pervasive in everyone's hearts.

Xu Yi stood straight on the windowsill of the study in the side hall of the carrier hall.

Ren Ling's cold wind kept slapping his face.

Behind.

Several candles flickered on and off. Diaphragm

Time.

It was as if the end was about to come.

There is a restless and oppressive atmosphere everywhere.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

Maybe it's more than 100 breaths.

Xu Yi, who was standing straight and motionless by the windowsill, slowly closed his eyes. Diaphragm

The heart is full of powerlessness.

Act of God.

This is a natural disaster!

can take the lives of countless people in an instant!

But in an instant, the city that has endured hundreds of years of wind and rain was destroyed.

It is even easier to destroy everything Xu Yi has.

"Whew." Diaphragm

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity.

Then he looked up at the sky covered with black clouds.

"Acts of God?"

"What about natural disasters?"

"Alone! The swallow is here!"

"Alone! The swallow land is still there!" Diaphragm

Xu Yi's face suddenly appeared a touch of ruddy, and he raised his head sharply to isolate the cold wind that kept kicking his nose and face.

Then he turned and walked straight to the side of the weapon rack.

Grabbing the abyss-cutting knife, he walked towards the study of the side hall with an unusual and determined step.

When it travels to the main hall of the carrying temple.

Lu Wensu, who was in a hurry, stepped into the carrying hall

。

"Minister, meet the prince!"

Lu Wensu, who didn't have time to breathe, quickly bowed his hands. Diaphragm

"Excuse me!"

"Herald Song Yuanfu! Rush to the Lower Los Angeles Coal Workshop immediately."

"Loaded with briquettes, coal stoves and other materials to the four cities of Anle, Hunu, Luxian, and Pinggu!"

"The four counties of Anle, Hunu, Luxian, and Pinggu will cooperate with each other!"

"If there is a large-scale freezing of people in the four cities of Anle, Hunu, Luxian, and Pinggu, the price of grain inside and outside the city exceeds fifty percent of the ordinary grain price!"

"Alone take them and ask!"

"Another person is ordered to hurry up to Yuyang City!" Diaphragm

"Order Pang Wenze to immediately requisition a total of 10,000 people from the remaining five cities to wait at the junction of Shanggu and Yuyang Counties!"

"Besides!"

"Anyone under the age of thirty-five!"

"All of them are going to the castle by car!"

"Those who haven't arrived for three days will be removed from the Yanwang Mansion!"

Xu Yi didn't stop, strode past Lu Wensu, and walked straight towards the outside of the carrier hall.

And its sound continued to echo in the huge main hall of the carrying hall. Diaphragm

"Obey!"

Lu Wensu didn't have time to think carefully when he heard this, so he hurriedly turned around and saluted.

Outside the main hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi's footsteps still did not stop when he heard this, and walked straight towards the carrier door.

"Prepare the car and go to the South City Gate!"

"Obey!"

Gu Dengyun, the guard officer standing in front of the carrier door, hurriedly hugged his fists and responded. Diaphragm

Not much.

A three-wheel green canopy carriage was guarded by more than 100 elite soldiers.

Galloped out of the palace stable.

Running straight towards Yumen.

Inside the three-wheel green canopy carriage.

Xu Yi sat upright on the soft couch, lowered his head and kept wiping the abyssal knife in his hand over and over again.

Until the three-wheel green canopy carriage went up and was about to cross the moat in front of the palace. Diaphragm

Xu Yi raised his head.

Gently lift the curtain with an abyssal knife.

Looking deeply at the Yanwang Mansion.

"Wait until I get back."

Xu Yi said lightly and lowered the heavy curtain.

......

...... Diaphragm

The south gate of Fuyang City.

Countless people dressed in brocade robe around the city gatehouse.

Countless people dressed in burlap clothes, armed with shovels and dung forks, gathered at the bottom of the city gate.

Countless other officials and soldiers stood outside the people in sweat.

The tall walls that were once very majestic and oppressive.

Now it's as noisy as a vegetable market.

Upstairs at the city gate. Diaphragm

Sun Daohua, who was dressed in a lilac official robe, looked at the dozens of people in front of him with an extremely ruddy face.

Dozens of people in front of him have different identities.

But this time, they all represent the forces behind them.

"What do you mean by that?"

Although Sun Daohua's face was extremely ruddy, his voice was full of coldness that was so thick that there was no way to resolve it.

However.

Sun Daohua's voice fell. Diaphragm

There were dozens of people around the city gate tower.

Or look up at the sky, or look down at the ground, or whisper to the people around you.

No one responded to it from the beginning to the end.

See here.

Sun Daohua's face couldn't help but become more and more ruddy.

"You still have this official in your eyes! But there's also the court!"

"Wang Xingke! Answer me!" Diaphragm

Sun Daohua's voice was a little cold again.

His eyes were even more fixed on the young man in a gorgeous brocade dress behind Wang Xingwang, the big shopkeeper of the Wang family.

Apparently.

This talent is the leader of dozens of families and powerful squires here.

But on the contrary.

Sun Daohua had never seen this person in Fuyang City.

Wang Xingwang reflexively lowered his head when he heard this. Diaphragm

Behind him, the young man in a gorgeous brocade dress crossed Wang Xingwang and faced Sun Daohua.

"Sun Junshou, it's serious."

"As the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can we ignore the king's law, disrespect the court, and disrespect the court's officials?"

The young man in a gorgeous brocade dress smiled indifferently and bowed to Sun Daohua.

"Who are you?"

Sun Daohua asked in a deep voice.

"King Langya." Diaphragm

The young man in a splendid brocade robe replied without humility or arrogance.

"Can you make decisions on behalf of the royal family?"

Sun Daohua's brows furrowed slightly for a moment.

"I don't know what Sun Junshou said, so I don't dare to answer lightly."

Wang Jing is still neither humble nor arrogant.

"The matter of tenants under the city."

"The matter of releasing water outside the city." Diaphragm

Sun Daohua secretly said in his heart that it was difficult, and then said in a deep voice.

"The tenants of the city came to guard the river for their soldiers, and it was strictly forbidden to release water."

"Though there are tenants of my royal family in them."

"But this is definitely not the intention of my royal family."

"As for the release of water outside the city."

"It's the tenants' own doing."

"It has nothing to do with my royal family." Diaphragm

"I don't know what else is going on with Sun Junshou?"

"If there is nothing to do, please forgive me for being entangled in trivial matters and say goodbye first."

Wang Jing's face was as usual, and he replied unhurriedly.

The words fell.

Wang Jing bowed his hand again, then turned around and walked out of the crowd.

"Sun Junshou, I am entangled in small trivial matters, so I have to retire first, and I ask for forgiveness."

"Sun Junshou, the youngest daughter-in-law is afraid of giving birth today, so I have to retire first, and ask for forgiveness." Diaphragm

"Sun Junshou, the little old mother has a seventieth birthday today, so I have to retire first, and I ask for forgiveness."

"Sun Junshou, the small family is full of trivial matters, so I have to retire first, and ask for forgiveness."

"Sun Jun Shou ......"

"Sun Jun Shou ......"

Wang Jing moved, and the rest moved instantly.

For a time, the city gate tower was full of voices of retreat.

See here. Diaphragm

Sun Daohua's face couldn't help but become more and more ruddy.

He convened the heads of drainage families outside the city, with the original intention of discussing with each other and getting through the difficulties together.

Why.

The people who came to the appointment did not have a family head.

Although these people in front of them are not the heads of the family, they have a certain right to speak in their respective families.

That's why.

Sun Daohua forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Diaphragm

I want to talk about it.

However.

When these people arrived, they either looked down at the ground, or looked up at the sky and looked at the nose and nose, or whispered to the people around them.

There is no intention of negotiation at all.

And with these dozens of people came countless tenants.

These tenants are armed with shovels, dung forks and other agricultural tools, or drag their families with them.

As soon as he arrived at the south city gate, he shouted loudly that he was not guilty of draining water and saving the field. Diaphragm

What's more, they shouted loudly that the people regard food as their heaven, and that the county government sent soldiers to guard the river, and strictly forbade the drainage of water, which is equivalent to destroying the people's heaven, so that the people will have no harvest this year, and starve to death.

And whenever Sun Daohua sent people to arrest them, the tenants would work together to isolate the officials and soldiers.

Sun Daohua had the intention to forcibly arrest people.

But there are too many people downstairs at the city gate.

In such cases.

Once people are forcibly arrested, the situation will inevitably get completely out of control.

Thus causing greater unrest. Diaphragm

On the upper floor of the south gate of the city gate of Fuyang City.

Sun Daohua looked at the dozens of family talkers who kept saying goodbye and wanted to leave.

The anger in my heart is finally difficult to suppress.

"Did the official allow you to leave?"

Sun Daohua shouted angrily at the dozens of family speakers.

The words fell.

Dozens of families couldn't help but brush their bodies and stand on the spot. Diaphragm

Only the one who was born in the lineage of the Langya Wang family and was named Wang Jing was still unmoved.

"Wang Jing!"

Seeing this, Sun Daohua's anger became more and more intense.

Just as he was about to wave his hand.

Having already walked to the entrance of the city wall, the corners of Wang Jing's mouth, who had his back to him, suddenly rose slightly, outlining a smile that was difficult to understand.

"I don't know what Sun Jun is calling for?"

An incomprehensible smile flashed at the corner of Wang Jing's mouth, and then he turned to look at Sun Daohua as usual. Diaphragm

"Did the official allow you to go?"

Sun Daohua's voice was extremely cold.

"I've told you all that I have to say."

"And Jing was entangled in trivial matters at home, and had to leave."

"Respect yourself for your words and deeds, there is no rudeness in Sun Junshou, nor does he violate the laws of the Great Zhou, or even despise the imperial court."

"I don't know why I can't leave?"

Wang Jingli stood at the mouth of the city wall and asked rhetorically, neither humble nor arrogant. Diaphragm

Sun Daohua couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

True.

Wang Jing was not rude in his words and deeds from beginning to end.

Every word and deed is very popular.

"If it's okay, I'll retire first."

Don't wait for Sun Daohua's reaction.

Wang Jing stood at the mouth of the city wall and once again faced Sun Daohua and bowed deeply. Diaphragm

The etiquette is extraordinarily standard.

But for some reason, it was so ironic in Sun Daohua's eyes.

Sun Daohua had the intention to stop Wang Jing from leaving.

But I couldn't find the slightest way to deal with it.
