"Half a month?"

Hearing these words, Lu Chensheng's expression turned a little ugly. If it was really such a heavy rainstorm, it would last for half a month.

Who knows how the water level will skyrocket.

Yunmeng City can be said to be the neighbor of this place. If it rains so heavily here, it will be the same in Yunmeng City.

Lu Chensheng looked at the sky outside, and finally sighed.

The torrential rain lasted all afternoon before it seemed to stop a bit, but before Lu Chensheng could breathe a sigh of relief, the torrential rain poured down again.

"Husband, there is no way to interfere with this kind of thing, so don't be so sad."

Qiong Yue stayed aside quietly, looking at Lu Chensheng frowning and said with a little distress.

Lu Chensheng nodded, but still sat down by the window.

Yunmeng City....

Lin Gu frowned as he watched the heavy rain outside.

It has been a day, and he can't help but think of what the old farmer said before.

According to what the old farmer said, the water level has been much higher this year. If there is a slight heavy rain, there will be another flood.

But now that the torrential rain has been raining for such a long time, there is still no intention of stopping, which is already a bit worrying to him.

"Come here! Follow me to the bank of the Yunjiang River to check."

Feeling worried, Lin Gu suddenly called out.

Hearing this, a guard hurried out and clasped his fists, "My lord, I'm afraid it's not safe to go out in such heavy rain."

"If it's not safe, you have to go. I'm here to deal with the flood. If there is a flood, how can I face the emperor? Prepare your coir raincoat!"

After all, Lin Gu got up straight and strode outside. At this moment, the streets in Yunmeng City were covered with a layer of water.

Some people hid in their homes, watching the heavy rain with a bit of sadness in their eyes.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River are not afraid of drought, but the continuous heavy rain.

Chapter 88 Grants for Disaster Relief

Lin Gu took a few guards and hurried out of the city.

Seeing the stagnant water in the city overflowing along the way, his face looked a little ugly.

When I finally came to the edge of the Yunjiang River, I saw the Yunjiang River whose water had risen a lot.

After careful inspection, he was relieved when he saw the water level beside him. After the water flow in the Neijiang River was restricted, the water level rose a little, but it was not obvious.

Thinking of this, Lin Gu hurried to Waijiang to have a look.

At this moment, the water level of the Outer River has obviously risen a lot. The stone tablet placed to check the water level before has been submerged by several water levels.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Gu took a slight breath.

But immediately, he looked up to the sky and laughed, not caring about the oncoming heavy rain at all.

"Although it's just a day of rain, it's enough to prove that the flood in the Yunjiang River is over!"

Lin Gu's laughter was extremely hearty. He had just made a round of inspection.

It was found that the outer river has diverted many rivers, and the inner river has basically remained unchanged.

As for the Inland River, according to Lu Chensheng's request, there is a flood outlet. In this way, even if the Yunjiang River is flooding, it can still be cured.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Gu felt so unhappy at the moment.

At this moment, the guards on the side looked at Yun Jiangshui with great joy.

The inner river of Yunjiang is still relatively clear at this moment, and the sediment swept by the heavy rain basically flows to the outer river.

This can be seen clearly, because the river water carrying the sediment is turbid, and the Jing River, which separates the water from the two rivers, is generally distinct.

In the past, I didn't quite know what Lu Chensheng said, but I only knew what Lu Chensheng said, once the diversion was formed.

That is, a large amount of soil and sand in the river can be flowed into the outer river.

What they heard was that it was unlikely. After all, it was all in one river. How could it be possible that the sediment would be completely carried to another river after branching off?

But now, seeing the originally rolling river water, all the extremely turbid ones are heading towards the outer river. Although the inner river is still a bit turbid, it is relatively clear.

Under such circumstances, they were naturally astonished.

They still don't know how this is done, but it doesn't prevent them from feeling that this is an unfathomable ability.

"Send a few people to stay here to observe the water of the Yunjiang River all the time. The torrential rain still doesn't stop, so don't neglect it!"

Lin Gu looked around and said to several guards.

The guards responded in unison.

Lin Gu looked around along the Yunjiang River, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the flood discharge and the embankment, he turned and went back to the city.

The torrential rain is still falling continuously, making people feel as if the rain has accumulated in the sky for decades, and it feels like it wants to finish it all at once.

The continuous torrential rain brought dampness in the room.

Fortunately, there was enough food stored at home, so Lu Chensheng didn't need to go out with Chu Wu to buy some food and come back.

Lu Chensheng frowned as he looked at the rain that had been falling for a long time without stopping.

This going out is not allowed, otherwise, Lu Chensheng would like to inquire about what is going on in Yunmeng City.

If there was no flood in the Yunjiang River, he would naturally feel at ease.

One must know that the river water outside Taohuawu has soared a lot recently.

......

The imperial capital, compared to the Jiangnan area, the imperial capital is sunny every day, and it is disturbing to know that it is so noisy.

In the palace, Jiang Huang, who was affected by the hot weather, had already had people take out ice and place it around the hall to cool down.

Some ministers also received a lot of Tibetan ice.

"Report! The torrential rain in the south of the Yangtze River has been falling for nearly half a month, and now many cities are already flooded!"

In the imperial study room, Jiang Huang, who was a little irritable due to the hot weather, suddenly heard this urgent report, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Heirs come in!"

After Jiang Huang's words fell, the leading eunuch immediately walked out and led the man in.

The person who came in held the booklet in both hands, and the personal eunuch didn't need Jiang Huang's instructions at all. He stepped forward to take it, checked it carefully, and sent it to Jiang Huang after confirming that it was correct.

Jiang Huang stared at Zhezi in front of him, his face was gloomy after reading it.

"Why didn't you mention Yunmeng City?"

"The place in Yunmeng City is the worst. The heavy rain has washed away the roads, and I don't know what's going on in Yunmeng City."

When Jiang Huang heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

If this Yunmeng City had a bumper harvest every year, the grain turned in would be nearly one-tenth of a national treasury.

However, Yunmeng City has floods from time to time, and sometimes it needs to allocate funds for disaster relief. The treasury has not received food but has to allocate it.

However, it is such a rich place, even he is reluctant to give up just like this.

Hearing that Jiangnan has been raining continuously for so many days, Jiang Huang's mood suddenly became extremely bad.

"Send someone to visit Yunmeng City immediately, no matter what, I need to know the news about Yunmeng City as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The minister below immediately responded, "Your Majesty, should we allocate funds for disaster relief now? According to the situation in previous years, the situation in Yunmeng City is the worst. If the disaster relief preparations are made earlier, the situation will be much better."

I have experienced this kind of flood a lot, and I have some experience in how to deal with it.

If prepared in advance, the timely loss of disaster relief will be minimized.

In addition, some patients should be careful after the flood.

When Jiang Huang heard this, his face looked a bit ugly. The treasury has no money to allocate now.

"Let's ask the Minister of the Household Department to come to the Imperial Study Room."

In the end, Jiang Huang sighed, even if there is no money, disaster relief is still very necessary.

Now I can only ask the Minister of Household Affairs how the treasury is now.

As for Lin Gu who was sent to deal with the flood, Jiang Huang no longer had much hope.

He also wanted to pin some hope on the past, but the continuous half-month torrential rain even washed away the road.

Such a huge amount of rainfall, no kind of dam can stop it, how can this flood be cured?

Especially after reading the description in this brochure, Jiang Huang became more and more hopeless.

If the road hadn't been washed away, Lin Gu might have sent someone for help.

Jiang Huang sighed, the south of the Yangtze River is abundant in rain, but it happens to be too abundant, so that such floods happen from time to time.

How good would it be if such rainwater was placed around the imperial capital?

In contrast, droughts occur from time to time around the imperial capital.

Hubu Shangshu heard that Emperor Jiang was calling, and hurried to the imperial study.

After hearing Jiang Huang's explanation of the allocation of funds, his face was filled with embarrassment and bitterness.

As the household department is in charge of finances, how much money does he have in his own treasury, how can he not know?

The guys from the Ministry of War chased after him every day to ask for money, and the guys from the Ministry of Industry also asked for money, what damaged the palace needed to be repaired, what items were missing in that department, and so on.

All kinds of urging for money, he can't wait to break a copper coin into two halves.

After this, now he has to provide disaster relief, which completely disrupts his arrangements for the treasury money.

Chapter 89 The Annunciation

"How is the water level of the Yunjiang River? Are there any signs of flooding in the Neijiang River?"

The torrential rain continued, and Lin Gu, who was staying in the mansion, had a nervous expression on his face.

When the guard heard the words, there was no sign of nervousness on his face at this moment, instead, there was a strong sense of joy.

"My lord, although the water in the Yunjiang River has risen quite a bit, there is no sign of flooding. Although the water in the Neijiang River has also risen, it has already begun to release the flood. It has not affected the crops on the bank or the villages outside the city at all."

"Great!"

Lin Gu was overwhelmed with surprise when he heard the words. Seeing the pouring rain outside slowly turning into a hazy drizzle, the surprise on his face was even more difficult to hide.

"Go, go out with me and have a look."

Based on his experience, it was time for the rain to rest.

It has been raining for more than half a month, and now it has started to drizzle, presumably it is a sign that the rain is about to stop.

When the guard heard this, he immediately nodded.

Now that the rain has decreased, I think there will be no danger.

After dripping out of the city, Lin Gu came to the bank of the Yunjiang River.

And at this moment, countless people are already standing on the bank of the Yunjiang River. At this moment, they are all watching the Yunjiang in front of them tightly, and turning their heads to look at the crops behind them, with indescribable expressions on their faces. .

When they saw Lin Gu, a group of people knelt down immediately, regardless of the mud on the ground, and kowtowed to Lin Gu.

"Thank you, my lord, for controlling the water, allowing me to save the food!"

A group of people howled and cried.

Seeing such a heavy rain, they had experienced several floods, and they had already expected that their fields would be washed away again.

In addition, in the villages outside the city, it is also possible that they will suffer.

But who would have known that the heavy rain kept falling day after day, but even though the heavy rain kept falling, the water in the Yunjiang River still seemed extremely gentle, without the slightest hint of violence.

If it was normal, the Yunjiang River would overflow in the next two days.

Once the embankment bursts at that time, the food they have worked so hard to plant will be in vain.
