On April 16, Jiang Xingchen received news from the old man that Xiangyunling, the southernmost part of the empire, was first hit by torrential rain, and a village was flooded by a flash flood.

The rain continued to spread northward for three days without stopping, turning dozens of towns into ponds and flooding over rooftops, causing large numbers of civilians to suffer.

On April 20th, a torrential rain came to the main city of Xiangyun, and the water of the moat overflowed, and the whole city was in a sea.

By this time, the extreme weather began to erupt completely, and many parts of the country were covered by dark clouds, and although it did not rain, it quickly developed outward, and soon became patches one after another. In just two days, it covered nearly seventy percent of the empire.

At this time, people were still at a loss, and even cheered and rejoiced, thinking that the drought of nearly a month and a half was finally over, and it was around the time of sowing, and this rain came too timely.

Many people are shouting, this is simply God bless, it seems that this year is another bumper year.

At the same time, in the main hall of the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was not as happy as that of people from the outside world, and the situation of Xiang Yunling had already been reported. According to Lord Xiangyun's description, his territory has simply become a Ze country.

"How can it suddenly turn into a flood when it's always been dry?" the ministers shook their heads in disbelief.

"Xiangyunling doesn't have much river flooding, almost all the towns are flooded, I heard that the situation is worse than the flood ravaged by the river Luoling!" someone echoed in a low voice.

"Although the rain in Xiangyunling was not small in the past, it has never been so big...... And it's not the rainy season yet. What's going on in the last few years!"

"Now is the sowing season, this flood, it is not possible to make this year's Xiangyun comprehend no harvest......"

The Emperor's gaze swept over everyone. He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Until the Grand Duke of Xiangyun sent the news, the rain was still intermittent and stopped, and there was no intention of stopping at all....... now that the Grand Duke of Xiangyun sent a letter for help, do you have any ideas?"

When the emperor said this, the hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked down at the ground. As if studying the pattern of the floor tiles, none of them spoke.

Just kidding, help. How to help, it is nothing more than giving people money, and now our family is also busy with spring ploughing. Besides, what good can we do if we pay for it? Maybe it's gone...... The most important. Now in the situation of Xiangyunling, even if we give people and money, it won't work.

"Why, don't you have anything to say?" the Emperor's expression was gloomy as water. Xiangyun Ling is a grain producing area, not much worse than Qi Yue Ling, if there is really no harvest there, the impact on the empire will be too great.

"Emperor, no, let's shoot a part of the army first!" said the marshal with a bow.

"Army......" The Emperor hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "For the time being, it can only be like this, but you must be careful of the Eight Kingdoms!"

This sentence fell. The Fang family and several other families also stood up, saying that they could send their own private soldiers......

And so it was settled. The top of the empire contributed money to help Xiangyun Ling tide over the difficulties first, at least to ensure that some places could be cultivated.

Walking out of the palace hall, all the ministers looked up at the gloomy sky at the same time, and for some reason, their hearts were tight.

"It's overcast, don't there be heavy rains here in the imperial capital, right?" a man muttered.

"Don't be a black mouth!" Immediately a few people covered his mouth.......

Another three days passed, and this issue of Xingchen Monthly came out, which published the details of the flood in Xiangyunling. In the past, you couldn't say anything when nothing happened, but now that it's happened, you don't have to worry about it.

When this issue of Xingchen Monthly came out, everyone's jaws hung and fell to the ground, and it was really a flood.

In an instant, the discussion about the Duan family and building materials was suppressed, and the statement that was originally considered a rumor was immediately turned over.

"It's really a flood, all the Xiangyun collars are flooded, I'm going to go, where did the original news come from, this is too godly, this can be expected!"

"I'll just say, this news may be true, and you still don't believe it...... Who, who said it at the time, only to believe this rumor ......"

"I don't know what the people who said this think when they spread the news so that the builders could buy cement...... Now that you see it, even if it's spread by the Star Leader, it's like a god!"

"Who the hell told this news as a rumor at that time, stand up, I promise not to kill you!" This was said by the people from Nanjiang and Nanshan who were closest to Xiangyun Ling.

It has already been said in the monthly magazine that heavy rain has a tendency to spread northward, isn't this the rhythm of patronizing these two territories.

While people were talking, they also began to panic in their hearts, don't look at the flood in Xiangyunling, but the rumor is true, this time it is a national flood.

By this time, they were convinced of the rumors. And at this time, the dark clouds in other parts of the empire were becoming more and more backward, and some experienced old people frowned, such thick clouds were by no means the light rain they expected.

Hearing the words of the old people, people have gone from talking at the beginning, to panic, and finally to fear.

"Are we going to have a flood here, if that's the case, will our spring ploughing also be delayed!"

"Probably not, we have a big river here to discharge floods, and the arable land will not be flooded......"

"It seems that it is a wise move to build levees in the major territories...... But can they fix it, it's a month away from the rainy season......"

When people were terrified of the flood, the day after the release of Xingchen Monthly, the supplement of the Imperial Monthly was released this month, which also described the flood in Xiangyunling.

This time, the Imperial Monthly unexpectedly did not make any remarks contrary to the Star Monthly. and called on the major lords to help Xiangyun Ling, which was an important source of grain for the empire.

As soon as the supplement to the Imperial Monthly came out, those architectural families were the first to move, and they all increased their investment in trying to repair the embankment as much as possible. Now they also see that this rain is sure to fall, and it is not small, and if the levee is not completed, the consequences will be ...... Think about them all feeling their scalps tingling.

At the same time, cheers rang out from the embankment of the Great Red River, and after their non-stop work day and night, the flood control levee was finally built.

"Whew~ It's finally done, look at this sky, it's really dangerous, who knows when this heavy rain will come!"

On the embankment, Duan Qingshi looked at the rolling Dahong River and sighed in his heart. At this time, he finally understood why Jiang Xingchen asked him to speed up, it was not that people were anxious about the construction of underground facilities under Xingchenling, but that they were worried about the upcoming heavy rain.

"There's still a month left before the rainy season, and this weather is really evil...... Obviously this year is a spring drought, how can there be such a big flood!" Duan Tiezhu also sighed, looked up at the sky, and said, "I'm afraid this rain is not small!"

"It doesn't matter how big it is, no matter how big the water is, the flood control levee made of reinforced concrete can't be washed away...... Jiang Xingchen is really amazing, the cement he made is exactly the same as what he said!" Duan Qingshi said.

"The most powerful thing is Lord Jiang's methods, how did he know that there would be heavy rain...... Let's speed it up!"

The father and son chatted happily for a while, and Duan Qingshi said: "Let's go, let's go to the Grand Duke of Heluo and tell him that the embankment has been completed, and after he sends someone to inspect it, we will take someone to Xingchen Ling!"

"Well, I really don't want to stay in this place, I feel awkward when I think of the way they look at us, as if they hate us a lot! Don't say that Ling Xun is not our responsibility, even if it is, we have lost money, and we will help them rebuild the house, what else......

"Alright, let's go!"

Two days after the Duan family of Heluoling finished the project, the flood control dikes in Nanjiang Ling, Hongyuan City, Dongmian Sanling, and Qingshanling were also completed one after another!

The builders who had finally finished the project breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing in their hearts, they really didn't know when the heavy rain would fall.

In the past two days, the sky has continued to be hazy, and the dark clouds are getting thicker and thicker, which makes people's mood more and more depressing.

Xingchen collared, Jiang Xingchen took the news from the old man, and frowned.

The Nanjiang and Nanshan rivers were hit by torrential rains, and the water levels of the rivers rose sharply, and the slightly lower towns were flooded. Due to the advance preparations made by the two territories, there were not many casualties. However, the damage was also significant, with much of the farmland being soaked and many houses flooded.

"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen let out a long sigh, such a flood is unavoidable, such a big loss, so much arable land cannot be planted, there will definitely not be more supplies and tourists in the future.

"Sir!" Grandpa Fu entered the house, bowed down and said, "The embankments of the several territories where the cement was purchased have been completed!"

"How's the preparation of supplies?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"Nearly 20 million citrine coins have been purchased these days, especially grain! All of our warehouses are basically full, and now we are asking craftsmen to build bigger warehouses. Grandpa Fu replied.

"Well, so be it!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, put the news on the table, got up and walked out of the door, the dark sky outside made him very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a drop of rain fell from the sky and hit Jiang Xingchen's face.

Touching his face, Jiang Xingchen raised his head, and a drop in the sky had already fallen, and the work was already dense as silk.

"It's finally down!" Jiang Xingchen muttered.

On this day, the entire Qiankun Empire began to rain on a large scale, and the area where it rained the most was Heluoling! (To be continued......
