Chapter 507 Failure

Dongfang Ming naturally learned about Li Erlang's return to the Jianghan area through the information network of the Sun and Moon Sect, but he left the matter to Xu Yeji and took Xiao Yingyue, who had been studying under Xu Yeji's pressure for half a year, down the mountain.

This time, I went out to do tasks differently as before, but I went to inspect the relevant situations of the cities under the Divine Cult, especially the situations in farming and water conservancy.

Dongfang Ming recently looked at the weather forecast on the system, saying that the rainfall will increase this summer. He was not worried about the situation below, so he came out to see it himself.

The wheat in the Jianghuai region has been harvested, and farmers have begun to prepare some cotton or corn and sweet potato crops that have begun to emerge in recent years.

Dongfang Ming, Yingyue, and Eleven and Qingyue, who were half-spoken and half-hearted, walked on the dirt road to the farm on horseback.

Along the way, Yingyue looked around and asked Dongfang Ming what this was and what that was.

"Brother Xiao Ming, are we going back today?"

Yingyue rode an old horse with a very docile personality. In the past six months after she arrived in the Divine Cult, she also learned to ride a horse. Although she could not gallop, she could still walk slowly on the horse.

"Go to stay in the village below for one night and go back tomorrow."

Dongfang Ming responded casually.

"Will you go back tomorrow afternoon?"

Yingyue asked expectantly.

Dongfang Ming glanced at him: "Don't think about taking the opportunity to get rid of his studies."

He wouldn't know what this little girl was thinking?

I just thought that when I went back in the afternoon, I would escape the morning and afternoon classes.

Yingyue flattened her mouth and muttered quietly.

Dongfang Ming's forehead was leaping with blue veins: "What are you scolding me for?"

I can hear it!"

"It's true! You and Mr. Xu are like skinning!"

Ying Yue made a fuss.

Dongfang Ming stopped and stared at her for a while. The little girl looked at her and felt guilty: "You don't want to go play anymore, do you?"

"I'm sorry, I will definitely study hard when I go back tomorrow."

Yingyue apologized by Lightspeed.

It's not long since I came down from the mountain. If Dongfang Mingzhen got angry, it would be a matter of just one sentence to ask Qingyue to send her back.

"Brother Xiao Ming, so many peaches!"

"What is that! Is it a watermelon?"

"Wow, what a big fish pond!"

"I'm going to see it."

But Yingyue didn't stay quiet for long and started shouting again.

Dongfang Ming shook his head: "How come you are so whispering? I'll have you playing in the village later."

Qingyue and Eleven followed behind both smiled slightly on their faces. Miss Xiaoyue was so lively and cute.

It was already noon when the few people arrived in the village. After lunch, they had a short rest. Dongfang Ming asked Qingyue to take the little saint around and take her to see her talk about the big fish pond.

I took the 11th day of inspection to visit and investigate.

"It rained for several days a few days ago. Fortunately, these canals were repaired at the beginning of the year and the reservoir was also opened. Otherwise, so much rain would have to soak the seeds just planted in the field and soaked them."

An old man sitting on the ridge of the field told Dongfang Ming.

Dongfang Ming waved his hand and asked the old man, the eleven handfuls of cakes and kettles, to bring them out, to work in the fields in the morning and not to go back until the evening.

"Oh, you're so kind!"

When the old man saw what Eleven took out, he was polite and almost burst into laughter on his face.

Dongfang Ming smiled and said, "You just accept it. It will be a while before dinner. It's just a while to eat something to keep your stomach."

He said as he looked at the two grandsons of the old man who was sitting far away.

The old man scratched his head embarrassedly and shouted the two children: "Isn't thankful for this adult yet!"

The two children immediately came over happily, thanked Dongfang Ming, and rubbed their hands that were muddy on their trousers, and then took the white flour pancake handed over by Eleven.

It is difficult for them to be late for such good white flour. Although the situation at home has improved a lot in recent years and will not be unable to eat, they still cannot eat fine food.

While the old man and others were eating, Dongfang Ming sat on the ridge of the field and started chatting with the old man.

Seeing that the noble man was not disgusted at all, it was too late for the old man to stop him. He secretly sighed in his heart that this man is really friendly to the people. He wanted those great masters he had seen in the past to dislike the dirty farming of these farming people and would not even look at them.

The old man, who was a little moved, said whatever he said without reservation when facing Dongfang Ming's intentional secret clichés.

After saying goodbye to this old man, Dongfang Ming visited other nearby farmers. After roughly grasping the situation, he returned to the village where he settled in the evening.

After taking Yingyue back the next day, Dongfang Ming found Li Jing and told him to pass the order that there might be long-term and large-scale rainfall in July and August, so that the people below could complete the task of clearing the river as soon as possible to prevent summer floods.

At the turn of July and August, the system predicted heavy rains and light rain fell intermittently for nearly half a month, and the water levels of rivers and lakes rose very significantly. Fortunately, the Sun and Moon Church actively cleared the drainage canals and strengthened the river embankment in the first half of the year. Although it took manpower and material resources to measure it, it at least avoided large-scale floods or accumulation of water.

Although rice and other things fall in the farmland will face a reduction in yield, it will not lead to no harvest.

The Sun and Moon Cult is pretty good here, but there is no such good luck in other areas.

Due to the large concentration and long-term precipitation, the river water in Jingchu area in the south surged, especially the upstream of the river, and the middle reaches were also in the precipitation period. For a time, a large amount of river water and rainwater gathered. The river dam and embankment were completely disrepaired and could not stop the surging river water, and floods occurred.

Liangdi, which was fighting against Li Erlang's army and Chudi, which was adjacent to him, were the hardest hit areas of this disaster.

Because of the flood disaster, the war could have ended in August and delayed directly to September. Due to the flood, the farmland's grain production was reduced in large quantities and even had no grain harvest. The front line was fighting again, and the upper part had to pay the food below. The farmers without grain were forced to rise up.

For a time, Liang land was attacked from the back and forth, and internal chaos was in chaos, and a large number of people fled.

Qin Qiong and Xue Wanche, who guarded the junction of the Sun and Moon Sect and Liangdi, felt that this was a good opportunity, so they immediately sent troops to recruit these refugees and attacked Liangdi at the same time.

At the end of September, the area from Dongting to Panyang Lake was occupied.

In October, Liangdi, which had been resisting for more than half a year, was overwhelmed, and the King of Liang came out to surrender.

Although the Chu land adjacent to Liangdi was not the same as Liangdi, it was also overwhelmed by the flood disaster in July and August. Seeing that Liangdi surrendered, Chu land struggled for half a month and chose to surrender in mid-October.

When Liang Di surrendered, Dongfang Ming felt a little bad, but at that time he was busy dealing with Xu Yeji's handling of the problems of surrendering refugees and refugees, so he didn't think much about it.

Until the system suddenly rang: "Ding, Liang, Chu surrendered to the court, and the task of 'subduing the Eighth Alliance' failed, and there was no punishment for failure in this task."

Dongfang Ming: "?
