Wang Yuansui's parents have passed away a long time ago, but he is alone.

When Wei Tu rushed to Xuanzhou, Wang Yuansui was anxious.

Yang Zhi thought about it again and again, and finally decided to leave Chen Dong in Suzhou, and he went to Xuanzhou.

Chen Dong refused, he wanted to stay with the young master all the time.

Yang Zhi said that Chen Dong was the person he trusted the most, and everything in Suzhou could only be relieved if it was handed over to Chen Dong.

Hearing Yang Zhi's explanation, where could Chen Dong refuse.

The next day, Yang Zhi took Chen Nan, and in addition, he also went to the Jinling military camp and brought Chen Yuyan with him.

She is a woman, and it is not a long-term solution to stay in Jinling.

It was raining heavily, and it wasn't easy to get there.

Yang Zhi was light and simple this time, and the speed was fast.

That's it, and it took three days before I stepped into Xuanzhou.

Yang Zhi was going to come to Xuanzhou, and Wei Tu had already been informed.

Wei Tu naturally informed Wang Yuansui.

Knowing that Yang Zhi came in person, Wang Yuansui did not put on a big scene, but he was also full of sincerity.

He braved the heavy rain and stood at the gate of Xuanzhou City to greet Yang Zhi.

As soon as Yang Zhi got off the horse, he saw a young man.

Wang Yuansui is the same as Wei Tu described, tall and handsome, and upright.

This person is not only brilliant, but also a seven-rank martial artist.

Rare.

Wang Yuansui prepared a hot soup and directly invited Yang Zhi into the Assassin's Mansion.

Xuanzhou is not big, but although the sparrows are small, Wang Yuansui's Thorn History Mansion is arranged like him, simple but unique.

At any time, Yang Zhi greatly admired such people.

Wang Yuansui did not discuss business with Yang Zhi first, but arranged meals and hot water.

Yang Zhi took a comfortable hot bath and ate a hot meal, and his whole stomach was warm.

After finishing the meal, Wang Yuansui asked about Yang Zhi's plans.

What is Yang Zhi's plan, the above excerpts have not come down for a long time, and he can only try his best to do what he can.

Wang Yuansui is a smart person, and after hearing Yang Zhi say the matter vaguely, he didn't mention the matter above, but told some about the current situation in Xuanzhou.

The population of Xuanzhou is 300,000, and the total number of soldiers who can be mobilized is only 60,000.

In the face of natural disasters, such a number of people is really nothing.

Yang Zhi immediately decided to let Wang Yuansui take him to the Li River.

Although Wang Yuansui had heard of the reputation of Yang Zhi, the loyal and brave marquis, who was not afraid of power and was arrogant, he also had eyes.

Help the Jinling army defeat the Ryukyu pirates, find out the officials involved in the Suzhou granary, and then kill them mercilessly.

One by one, all for the people!

Compared with those who are high-ranking and hypocritical, Wang Yuansui admires Yang Zhi quite a lot.

Yang Zhi's proposal to personally inspect the Li River also made Wang Yuansui realize more clearly that Yang Zhi is different from those who have a nest of snakes and rats and only see their own interests.

When Yang Zhi arrived at the Li River, he saw the soldiers who were waiting for battle, and naturally understood that Wang Yuansui had really put in a lot of effort.

At this time, it was still raining, and the water of the Li River was turbid and tumbling, and it had already exceeded the normal water level.

The situation was even worse than Yang Zhi thought.

Xuanzhou is located in the plain, and most of the farmland is irrigated, to be honest, if the Li River collapses, the whole Xuanzhou will not have the power to fight back.

Wang Yuansui also thought of this, and didn't know where to get the materials to strengthen the river embankment.

But this was in vain, and Yang Zhi also found that most of the reinforced embankments were made of mud and a small amount of cement.

Yang Zhi could think of it with his knees, but he didn't say anything, and Xuanzhou didn't have enough materials, so he tried his best to make it like this.

Yang Zhi sighed, "Wang Tingshi, how many places are there such embankments?" ”

Wang Yuansui's face was serious, "Master Hou, you also know the situation in Xuanzhou, these have been cobbled together by the lower officials, except for the lower reaches of the Li River, other places have not been prepared." ”

This is not to complain, but to tell Yang Zhi all the situation as it is.

Yang Zhi and Wang Yuansui entered the nearest official mansion, which happened to be the county seat when Wang Yuansui was the magistrate.

There are not many people above the county, but the water in the ground can reach people's ankles.

The situation is really not good.

Yang Zhi immediately decided, "Wang Tingshi, you are doing your best to raise glutinous rice now." ”

Wang Yuansui was a little confused, "Master Hou, what's the use of this glutinous rice?" ”

Yang Zhi shook his head, "You go and arrange it first, and you'll know when the time comes." ”

"Remember, do your best to raise it, you must have more, and the powerful people in Xuanzhou will also take action, if you can't do it, you will say that I ordered it."

Wang Yuansui looked at Yang Zhi, who was solemn, and took the order.

Yang Zhi's side ordered Chen Nan to go to Songzhou.

Also for glutinous rice.

Yang Zhi is not a person who does not know the sufferings of the world, he studies history and is exposed to all aspects of knowledge.

Glutinous rice is very sticky and can be well mixed with the soil, so as to achieve a certain blocking ability.

Now there are not enough other materials, so I can only think of such a method.

Although Chen Nan was worried about Yang Zhi, he was the only one left who could do things for Yang Zhi.

Next, every day, Yang Zhi and Wang Yuansui would go to the Li River.

The glutinous rice raised in Xuanzhou was also used as much as possible to reinforce the Li River.

During this period, a few difficult magnates still refused to cooperate, and Yang Zhi came to the door to have a meal at the house of those magnates, and those people were all honest at once.

Sometimes, the name of Yang Zhi, a Yang madman, is still a bit useful.

At this time, it has been raining for half a month in Jiangnan.

Chen Nan knew the urgency of the matter, and rushed to Songzhou non-stop, and Chen Bo naturally fully cooperated with Yang Zhi.

Soon, glutinous rice collected from all over Dasheng, or other materials for reinforcing the river embankment, were all shipped to Xuanzhou.

At this time, the water level of the Li River rose a few points.

The water that could reach the ankle a few days ago has risen to the height of the calf.

Wang Yuansui saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Yang Zhi silently calculated the time, if the little senior sister was in time, the emperor would already know the situation in Jiangnan.

The price of grain in Jiangnan has already made the magnates suffer hard, and presumably, the imperial court will soon make a move.

At the same time, Yang Zhi did not forget to pay attention to the sweet potato matter.

Chen Dong's side is very smooth, and Suzhou City already knows that there are low-priced sweet potatoes for sale.

Food prices have stabilized, it is unlikely to fluctuate too much, and soon, there will be a downward trend.

At that time, it was also the opportunity of Xuanzhou.

Yang Zhi and Wang Yuansui have been almost inseparable these days, and Xuanzhou is now like an empty city.

Everyone is behind closed doors.

But there's still a problem.

Previously, Wang Yuansui evacuated people in some areas around the Li River by setting up temporary shelters.

Wang Yuansui mobilized a large part of manpower and material resources to try not to let these homeless people go hungry.

But this is not a long-term solution.
