Chapter 261 Disaster Relief Mission Accomplished
Rumble boom!

There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the dark clouds not far away rushed in menacingly!

Such a scene is worth cheering for the people who haven't seen rain for a long time.

Click!Rumble!

As the dark clouds continued to pile up, bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

Not long after, bean-sized raindrops fell suddenly, and within a few breaths, the pouring rain arrived as expected.

The people cheered, rushed into the heavy rain and shouted wantonly, and finally saw life-saving rain after months of drought!

The sudden heavy rain relieved the drought very well, but Meng Chen and his group of subordinates were still not happy.

The torrential rain lasted for three consecutive days without stopping for a moment. The rain washed the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and at the same time impacted the hearts of the people.

On the first day, seeing such a heavy rain, the people cheered and rushed into the heavy rain excitedly to welcome the coming of the nectar.

The next day, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, and the level of precipitation seemed to be getting stronger, but the drought and water shortage in the previous months made the people still have hope.

On the third day, the downpour intensified again, and the people began to murmur in their hearts. Anyone with a little experience could see that this was a harbinger of a flood.

After the severe drought, there will be another flood. I am afraid that this year's life will be sad!

It was still the same on the fourth day, the fifth day, and the sixth day... and the decree of the Great General's Mansion to fight the flood had already been issued, and officials from all over the country arrived at the front line one after another.

It wasn't until this time that those recruited civilian husbands recalled their great achievements!
In the few months of drought, the Xiliang army and the civilian men called up to dredge and dig the river deep at night.

The folk husbands not only have three meals a day, but also settle their wages every day.

Now it has been raining heavily for more than ten days, but it has not caused floods, but looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the people are even more worried.

If this heavy rain continues, it is only a matter of time before floods occur!
"Military division, how are you preparing? If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the flood overflows."

"Don't worry, my lord, the river has been effectively dredged in the past few months, and there is no serious problem so far." Liu Bowen patted the rain on his body, took off the coir raincoat and put it aside.

Throughout Dahan, drought has been common in the past ten years, but the severity is different.

For example, in the years when Zhang Jiao led the rebellion, the drought was more serious.

However, relatively speaking, floods rarely occur, so the whole Dahan has little preparation for river channels and flood control.

It has already entered August, and the rainy season has long passed, but this year it seems that all the rainwater has gathered at this time.

If it weren't for Meng Chen's early preparations, it would be normal to have no harvest this year.

"The first-line officials, all the areas divided by the security section, the officers and soldiers took turns to patrol the embankment, and even the common people spontaneously joined in!" Liu Bowen continued after drinking the ginger soup Meng Chen handed over.

"Right now, the most important thing is food. I don't know when Shen Wansan will be able to transport the food and grass from the Western Regions back."

With a heavy snowfall and a severe drought, the grain and grass that Meng Chen had worked so hard to accumulate for several years were all consumed.

Now with this heavy rain, if the food from the Western Regions cannot be brought back on time and in the right amount, this year will be difficult!

Regardless of whether it is Jizhou or Hanzhong County, although the grain production in these two places is extremely high, they can't stand the large population under Meng Chen's rule.

Once there is a food shortage, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Mr. Wenhe, is there any news from Fazheng?" Meng Chen turned to look at Jia Xu.

Yizhou is already rich, and the grain output is also very high. If Zhen Yi hadn't reminded him in time, Meng Chen would have almost forgotten that there is another place to raise grain.

"The news was half a month ago, but Xiaozhi said that there is a solution, so please feel at ease, my lord." Jia Xu comforted, and their subordinates could naturally feel the anxiety in Meng Chen's heart.

"What's the situation with Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei?" Meng Chen continued to ask.

"According to the information collected by the Anbu, the floods in Jingzhou and Jiangdong are serious, and most areas will probably lose their crops, while the situation in Cao Cao's side is slightly better."

"Jiangdong's grain production has been sufficient since ancient times. After this blow, it is estimated that it will not be relieved in three to five years." Meng Chen walked to the map and looked carefully.

"However, this Marquis did not expect Cao Cao to be so unpredictable!"

"My lord's words are wrong. It's impossible for Cao Cao to not know about our big actions to clean up the river. What's more, in the past few years, Cao Cao has imitated the lord everywhere and achieved little success."

Meng Chen smiled and didn't say much, he knew what Jia Xu said, and the reason why Cao Cao imitated him was entirely recommended by Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

It has to be said that the vision of these two people is broad, and their intelligence analysis ability is also very strong.

"Is there any news from Jiaozhou?"

"Tubian is extremely cautious, neither agreeing nor refusing."

"Unfortunately, the navy has not yet formed, otherwise the food in Jiaozhou can also be transported back."

As time goes by, this heavy rain is gradually getting smaller. Fortunately, during the dry season, Meng Chen put in a lot of effort, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Although there are no major disasters, small troubles appear from time to time.

In a word, with the concerted efforts of the Xiliang army and people, they finally got through safely.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task. You will get a lucky draw chance and a special gift bag as a reward."

The voice of Yu Jie in his mind was the best news Meng Chen heard before falling asleep.

In the past month, Meng Chen has basically never had a good rest, so when he learned that the task was completed, Meng Chen relaxed and fell asleep drowsily.

This sleep lasted for four days and four nights, until Shen Wansan appeared!

"What's so noisy, I can't sleep well after copying the book." Meng Chen stretched his waist and sat up, and Amy Ya, who was standing beside him, exclaimed.

"My lord is awake, my lord is awake!" Meng Shan roared excitedly twice.

"Damn, is it necessary for Benhou to make such a fuss when he sleeps?" Monk Meng Chenzhang couldn't figure it out, completely unaware that he had been in a coma for four days and four nights.

"Gulu Gulu!" There was a burst of hunger, and Meng Chen suddenly felt that he should be able to eat a cow.

Fortunately, a group of people quickly prepared meals, and then stood aside stupidly, watching Meng Chen eat and drink.

"Old Shen, when did you return, why didn't you wake up this Marquis earlier." Meng Chen chewed on the mutton, and did not forget to joke with Shen Wansan who came in a hurry.

"This subordinate has just returned, and came to visit specially after hearing that the lord was sleepy." Shen Wansan hastily explained.

Meng Chen who heard the words was slightly taken aback, and then asked differently: "Sleeping? How long?"

"My lord fell into a coma for four days and four nights, and from time to time he spoke words that we couldn't understand." Meng Shan said hastily.

"Uh, Ben Hou vaguely remembers playing a game of chess with Immortal Master Zuo, but four days and four nights have passed without thinking about it!"

Meng Chen hurriedly found an excuse, and had no choice but to pull Zuo Ci out again.
