After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Chen Qingzhu knew that there had been many natural disasters in her previous life, but what she knew was limited to those that destroyed the homes of local people or caused serious reductions in grain production.

There would be no reduction in grain production in Liaozhou and Linzhou during this drought month, and it was probably not reported at all, so she didn't know about it.

On this day, Chen Qingzhu was practicing when he suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the carriage behind him.

She opened the car door and saw that the servant of a car behind her had fallen to the ground.

The horse in the carriage he was driving fell to its knees and foamed at the mouth.

Chen Qingzhu immediately got out of the car and went to check on the servant. He found that he only had superficial injuries and was not seriously injured. Then he went to check on the horse.

The horse was drenched in sweat, foam was coming out of its mouth, and the breath coming out of its nose was extremely hot.

It's obviously heatstroke.

Chen Qingzhu frowned slightly. This was her negligence.

As a cultivator, she has water spiritual roots and is immune to cold and heat. Normal temperature changes in the outside world have no effect on her.

Rong Niang was in the same car with her. Because she had practiced martial arts and was in the car, although she was sweating, she was able to withstand such high temperatures.

The servants driving the carriages had shields over their heads to block the scorching sun, but the horses pulling the carriages not only had to exert their energy, but were also directly exposed to the scorching sun.

No wonder you get heat stroke.

"Stop first!"

she shouted.

Although the Qin family's servants did not know her identity, they knew that their eldest master respected her, and they hurriedly stopped the carriage upon hearing this.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Qin Yongming hurried forward to ask.

Chen Qingzhu said:

"This horse has suffered from heat stroke, and I'm afraid the others may not be able to hold on for much longer. I'll take care of it first, and we'll rest as soon as we get to the next post station."

"Yes."

Qin Yongming immediately went to convey her order.

Chen Qingzhu injected some spiritual energy into the horses pulling the cart one by one, allowing them to temporarily withstand the scorching heat, allowing the entire convoy to continue moving forward.

Next, the entire convoy had to find a place to rest at noon, and the speed slowed down a lot.

It took another three days of walking before they reached Linzhou City.

When they arrived, it was almost 9 o'clock and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. According to the plan, they planned to rest in the city until the sun went down before continuing on their journey.

Just as I was queuing up at a gate to enter the city, I heard a soldier at the gate shouting:

"Hurry! There are not enough people in the west of the city. Leave one door for each entrance and exit. Everyone else go to the west of the city to fetch water!"

Then there was the heavy sound of the city gate closing.

"Ah! Why is the door closed!"

"If there's only one door left, then all of us will have to queue up again!"

The people who were originally queuing to enter and leave the city suddenly began to complain.

However, no matter how much they complained, they had to queue up again.

Chen Qingzhu and his friends had the token from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so they could enter the city directly, but in the current situation, even if they entered the city directly, they had to go through the only open gate.

At present, everyone is rushing to line up again. There is chaos in front of the city gate and their carriage queue is very long, so it is not easy to cut in line and enter the city.

Chen Qingzhu asked everyone to drive their cars to the side first and wait for order to be restored before finding a way to enter the city.

The clever Qin Yongming jumped out of the car, flexibly squeezed to the front of the team, stuffed money into the soldiers guarding the city and inquired about the situation.

Not long after, he came to Chen Qingzhu's carriage and reported:

"Boss, a big fire broke out in Linzhou East City last night. It has been burning for several hours. Not only has the fire not been put out, but it has spread to a wider area. Even the soldiers guarding the city have gone to help carry water to put out the fire. It's dry today, and I'm afraid the situation is a little bad. Should we bypass Linzhou City?"

The houses in the city are all made of wood. In a big city like the capital, the houses are often very densely packed together. Once the fire is too big, it will be very difficult to control.

It would have been fine if it were any other time, but the weather in Linzhou has been so dry recently that it is already difficult to get water in the city. The water for firefighting has to be fetched from Qinghe River, 20 miles outside the city, and then transported across the entire prefecture to the east of the city where the fire broke out. The difficulty of firefighting is self-evident.

No one dared to predict how far the fire would spread.

The most serious fire Qin Yongming had ever heard of directly burned down half of the city.

If the same thing happens in Linzhou, I'm afraid there will be unrest. If they enter the city, they will easily be affected.
