A few people should arrive: "Back to Your Highness, we are all here." ”

Zhu Bai asked, "When you came here, where was it raining and what was the situation?" ”

Then they answered.

"It has also been raining in Suzhou for several days, and there is already a trend of flooding."

"Songshan and Jiaxing are the same, and the farmland has been flooded."

"Huzhou too."

The more Zhu Biao listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled: These places are all places where grain is produced. If the rain doesn't stop, you miss the planting.

Zhu Bai said: "When you go to the official tooth bureaus, if you see anyone selling these medicinal herbs and grain, buy them." The grain is stored in the warehouse of the official tooth bureau. The medicinal materials were shipped to the Changzhou Guanya Bureau, and asked all parts of Suzhou and Hangzhou to bring their own some. ”

Then he made a list of honeysuckle, forsythia, nepeta, bellflower, banyan root, fried almonds, and so on.

Asked the escorts to carefully copy and carry it with them.

Zhu Biao followed silently, listened to Zhu Bai's words, and asked, "Twelfth brother, what ......is this?"

Zhu Bai grinned: "Be prepared, it's not the best to use it, I'm afraid that you will use it in case." ”

Zhu Bai also ordered the official tooth bureaus and post stations in Su, Jia, Chang, Hu and other places to temporarily close their doors from tomorrow to strictly guard against death.

If the victims of the disaster gather in the city, they will open the doors of all the mansions they have previously surveyed and settled, and resettle the victims in the name of the prince.

Someone asked worriedly, "Your Highness, in this way, these houses will be filthy." ”

Zhu Bai said lightly: "Even if we don't open the door, the victims will rush in if they are forced to hurry." When the time comes, it will not be good. It's better to open the door for them to live. Wait until the disaster is over and then clean up. ”

The next day, the rain still didn't stop.

Zhu Biao was worried, and Zhu Bai discussed: "Why don't we take the rain gear and go." It's not a way to wait like this, let's go to Changzhou first. ”

Zhu Bai: "The weather is quite cold, and I am afraid that my eldest brother's body will not be able to stand it in the rain like this." If you're sick, it's not good. If you have to hurry, it's better to go back and return to Yingtian. ”

He feared the same mutiny as last time.

And after the great plague there will be a great plague.

It is easy for them to enter the epidemic area, but it is difficult for them to come out again.

He did not dare to risk the safety of the heirs of the empire.

The more Zhu Bai thought about it, the more worried he felt, and grabbed Zhu Biao's hand: "Big brother." Really, let's go back. ”

Zhu Biao: "No, we've only been out for a long time, how can we go back." ”

Zhu Bai: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You carry the future of Daming on your shoulders. ”

Zhu Biao: "It is precisely because I am the future monarch that I have to be with the people at this time, rather than avoiding it." ”

Zhu Bai had a headache.

Zhu Biao was educated by Song Lian to be a little pedantic and stubborn on the whole.

It is difficult for this kind of person to persuade, because he will expand some small morality into a great righteousness, and he thinks he is right.

For example, now, what is the use of Zhu Biao going to the disaster area?

At most, they help to give soup porridge and distribute medicine.

If there is a famine or plague, he will not be able to suppress it, and he will still make trouble.

If something happens to him, Zhu Yuanzhang will kill all the people who still have hope of surviving.

And if the heir is lost, the entire Ming Dynasty will fall into turmoil again, and the lives will be ruined.

It is not that the people of these four places are suffering.

The key is that if Zhu Biao dies at this moment, I don't know if the roast chicken life on his back will be advanced.

Zhu Bai thought for a while and said, "I heard Master Liu say that when generals command wars, they are always decisive thousands of miles away and strategic. ”

It's just that when he told Zhu Biao about those truths, Zhu Biao couldn't listen to them.

He can't go against Zhu Biao, after all, Zhu Biao is the prince.

Since Zhu Biao believes in Liu Shenstick so much, he can only convince him in the name of Shenba.

Zhu Biao really hesitated, thought about it and replied: "Yes." ”

Zhu Bai: "So we don't have to go into the middle of the disaster area. It is better to command on the periphery and see the situation more clearly. ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "That's what the twelfth brother said." ”

Zhu Bai: "This place is low-lying, and if it is waterlogged, it is not easy to get in and out. It's better to go back to yesterday's station. ”

Even if you can't persuade him to respond to the sky, you should try to stay away from the disaster area.

To put it mildly, Maoshan Post Station is only one day away from Yingtian.

It's really not good, even if you pull Zhu Biao back, it's easy.

Zhu Biao lowered his eyes and pondered: "Okay, then listen to the twelfth brother." ”

Zhu Bai knew that he had turned a corner, but his pride did not allow him to respond to the sky so quickly.

Zhu Bai and the others braved the rain and walked back, and before dark, they arrived at the Maoshan Post Station again.

I thought that I left yesterday quickly, and today I came back quickly.

It's really a trick.

Dismounted at the door, through the dense rain curtain, he could still vaguely see the big tomb at the foot of Maoshan Mountain opposite.

On the wall of the post station were densely hung a row of hilts of Japanese knives.

As soon as the wind blew, the handle of the knife hit the blue stone with a "popping" sound.

It was as if there were countless people filming the city walls.

Zhu Biao thought about the dense corpses in the courtyard that day, and he only felt that his heart was hairy, and he didn't eat a few bites of dinner.

Zhu Bai knew that he was afraid, so he deliberately diverted his words: "Big brother, I heard that the Taoist priest of Maoshan is very powerful, but there is such a thing." ”

Zhu Biaoqiang cheered up and replied: "The Taoist temple on Maoshan Mountain, with Sanmao Zhenjun as the founding patriarch, is the birthplace of the Shangqing faction, and is known as the 'Shangqing Sect'. Why are you suddenly interested in Taoism again? ”

Zhu Bai replied: "I have always heard people say that there are three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Now the leaders of the Confucian Buddha family have become my masters. It's a Taoist. Besides, the father and emperor admired Taoism very much, and also sacrificed Zhang Sanfeng of Zhenwu. I always have to find out. ”

Zhu Biao: "It's not difficult. When it's over here, let's go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to sit down. Or ask Zhang Zhenren, the current head of the Shangqing faction, to come to the palace to preach to us. ”

Zhu Bai had eaten and told the post station to keep the matter of Zhu Biao's stay here confidential.

They had only arrived for a while, and the road below was already flooded.

Thinking that the position of the post station last night was much lower than here, isn't it flooded at this time?

Further on, the closer you get to Taihu Lake, the lower the terrain.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but be secretly afraid: Fortunately, he listened to Zhu Bai's words and retreated.

Ying Tian was even more nervous.

Su, Jia, Chang, Hu and other places have been raining non-stop, and the excerpts that have shown signs of waterlogging have been continuously delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu was very depressed: last year's drought and this year's flood. God is joking with us on purpose?

As early as above, Lao Zhu arranged six departments to prepare disaster relief materials.

Liu Bowen hurriedly came out: "The crown prince and the king of Xiang are on their way to Suzhou, and I implore the emperor to summon them back in case of accidents." ”

Lao Zhu nodded: "Don't panic." It's good to let the prince deal with these things. ”

In fact, Lao Zhu had already received a secret report from Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao last night.

Zhu Biao begged Lao Zhu to let him stay there for a few more days so that he could relieve the disaster and reassure the people.

Zhu Bai told Lao Zhu not to worry, he had already stabilized Zhu Biao at Maoshan Post Station and would come back in a few days.
