(Thanks to Menghuan for her support without tuning, thank you!)

Time has entered August, and in a blink of an eye, early August has passed. The yellow osmanthus on the osmanthus tree has just bloomed, and it has emitted the tempting osmanthus fragrance, and it has been blown away by the continuous rainstorm and wind.

Li Jing looked at the water curtain under the eaves that was like the Milky Way falling from the sky, and his brows frowned a little. When dark clouds gathered in the sky ten days ago, everything was seen everywhere. The drought that lasted for more than half a year made people's desire for rain reach the extreme. Although it was still just a dark cloud, it was already surprising.

The heavy rain fell in the joy of everyone. At that time, countless people rushed out of the house, raised their arms to welcome the heavy rain, and enjoyed the baptism of the heavy rain. The heavy rain fell like a torrential rain. In just half a day, rainwater that had spread across the insteps of his feet accumulated on the ground.

However, the rain did not stop, and the continuous heavy rain seemed to have fallen the rainfall accumulated in half a year.

One day, two days, three days

Until now, the rain has lasted for ten days. Apart from the occasional brief pause, it has continued. The joy of the people at the beginning has long disappeared. Now, everyone is beginning to be heavy and frown. The rainfall from the heavy rain has begun to form waterlogging, and many low-lying places have begun to become a country of terror.

Even big cities like Dengzhou, Duli Town, Qingnicheng have complete sewer and ditches systems that cannot be drained in time. Some lower urban areas of several big cities have been flooded by water. Several neighbors, even the entire first floor, are submerged in the water, and the deepest part is more than ten feet deep.

The flooding caused by heavy rain allows the city to see the sea directly. The most direct consequence is that a large number of people's houses and shops are flooded.

Li Jing had to urgently transfer the Dongjun of the Town to organize disaster relief, and asked the newly established county governments to organize disaster relief and transfer the affected people. In addition to the flooding of the urban areas of several cities, many people living along the river were also affected by the disaster, and their houses were flooded.

Those mining areas are even more serious. Most of the mining mines are newly built this year. Most of the miners are recruited by refugees. Most of the houses they live in are shacks that have just been dug out in a hurry. With such heavy rain, the shacks have no time to drain, and the ground nests have almost become puddles.

All mines in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning were suspended, and even the large number of workshops were mostly stopped. Almost all merchant ships in several harbors were parked in the harbor, with no ships going to sea.

"Yuan Hong. How long will this rain last?" Li Jing turned around and asked Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong's face was rosy, and even had a slightly raised belly. At this time, he was wearing a hard-cornered head, a green round-necked robe, a black-skinned whip, and a red face. He also had a beard on his jaw. He could not see any of the little Taoist priests who were among the refugees, but instead he looked like a scholar and poet.

Since following Li Jing, Yuan Hong has been performing well. In the battle to attack Cat Island, he accurately budgeted the heavy rain time and made great contributions to capturing Cat Island. Afterwards, Li Jing asked him to form a weather forecast team and did a good job. Especially the last time he prayed for rain. He predicted that there might be rain that day, but it really rained when Li Jing was praying for rain that day, and fished, which gave Li Jing the name of a dragon messenger.

Li Jing later promoted Yuan Hong to counselor and became a subordinate of staff officer Li Liang. He was responsible for observing the weather and providing weather information. Grade rank, eighth grade.

Yuan Hong was also quite nervous when the county minister summoned him. He swallowed his saliva. Yuan Hong said carefully: "According to the post, the rain should be almost over for the time being."

"Be accurate! When will it end, today or tomorrow?" Li Jing asked directly.

Although the heavy rain for ten consecutive days caused the temperature in southern Liaoning to drop sharply, fine beads of sweat still emerged from Yuan Hong's forehead.

"Return to the county lord, I predict that the rain should end tonight and will not exceed tomorrow at the latest."

"But what, just say something."

Yuan Hong plucked up his courage and said, "However, in the next month, there may be continuous rain. Although there may not be heavy rain like this, it is difficult to have clear and good weather."

Li Jing was silent. If this weather was really the case in the next month, it would be troublesome.

"Mr. I don't know if I have something to say."

Li Jing nodded and signaled him to say straight.

Yuan Hong said: "After such heavy rain, there is a very likely outbreak of epidemics. Once the heavy rain stops, you should also be prepared for epidemic prevention after the water from the water subsides."

"If you go back, write a detailed note immediately. At that time, I will transfer officials from each county and county government, as well as doctors from each county and township, and military doctors in the army to study how to prevent the epidemic." "Epidemics are prone to occur after floods, and Li Jing is also very clear about it. The medical conditions at this time are limited, and once the outbreak of the epidemic is unimaginable, I can only find ways to prevent it in advance."

"Monday, in addition, after floods and droughts, locust plagues are likely to break out. Especially after floods, if it is a spring flood, summer locust plagues may break out. If it is a summer fire, autumn locust plagues may break out. At present, in autumn this autumn, there is a very likely autumn locust plagues." Yuan Hong reminded again.

Li Jing frowned a little again. Although the locust plague is not as terrible as the epidemic, if the locust plague is serious, it is even more serious than the flood and drought. A major locust plague broke out last autumn, and a small locust plague broke out this summer. If another locust plague occurs this autumn, even southern Liaoning will likely be incapable.

Currently, Li Jing is in southern Liaoning and is launching immigrants, as well as the people of Youzhou who have plundered land.

The cultivated land was divided into fifty hectares of land, that is, five thousand acres of land. Fifty couples were arranged for each trunk, and each household was rented to these households at 100 plows of land. These households were all hungry people sent from the Central Plains, including the agricultural tools provided by the Liaonan Governor's Office and rented oxen. Each household was 100 acres of land. According to the current rough farming method, 30% of the grains were returned to the trunk households and 70% of the grains were returned to the Dongjun of Zhen. The average yield of eight dou to one stone per household was calculated. Each household could get 24 to thirty stones of grain, and after being unsheathed, they could still have about twenty stones and 2400 kilograms of grain. In addition to the rental fees for oxen, water usage fees, and costs such as seeds and farm tools, the family could have food and clothing.

At present, there are 100 troughs in southern Liaoning, and it is also planned to develop another 100 troughs before next spring. In this way, the Zhendong Army can have 200 troughs of military stocks and 1 million mu of land, and can obtain 700,000 troughs of grain in the military stock a year, and even after being shelled, they can obtain 500,000 troughs of corn.

This 500,000 stone of grain is a lot. A cavalry's food ration three to five stones of millet a year, a war horse 3 stones of millet a month, and a thirty-six stones of millet a year. The cavalry, together with people and horses, demands for forty stones of millet a year and 500,000 stones of grain, which can support 12,000 cavalry.

If it is only for infantry, it can support 100,000 people for a year.

"You also think of a way to see if there is any way to prevent locust plagues. If you come up with a useful and good way, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and a three-level promotion!"

When Yuan Hong heard this, blood surged into his forehead, and was so excited that he had already been promoted to Li Jing, even bowing to him, as if he had been promoted to the third level. He was a little dreamy when he left.

"My Duke, Mrs. Gongsun asked for a meeting!" Yuan Honggang left, and Liu Xun came in to report.

"Gongsun is back? Please invite her in!" When Li Jing heard that Gongsun Lan was back, he hurriedly asked Liu Xun to invite him in. Gongsun Lan went to Beijing with his mission this time, with the purpose of inquiring about some information from the court and the north.

After a long time not seeing each other, Gongsun Lan was still so charming. As soon as she came in, she threw herself into Li Jing's arms with a smile on her face. She couldn't tell that she was a charming young woman, but she looked like a girl in love with her spring. "Do you miss me for so many days?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "I don't see you for a day, like three autumns, I think about you day and night. Tell me quickly, what news have you heard?"

"You enemy, I don't have me in my heart at all." Gongsun Lan gave Li Jing a look with some dissatisfaction, "I'm still worried about you all day long. I can't eat well and sleep well. I rushed back all the way, wanting to see you as soon as possible, but I almost lost my life."

"What's going on? Have you met a bandit on the way?" Li Jing asked with concern. Although it was a marriage, he still had feelings for him after being together for a long time.

Seeing Li Jing's look of concern, Gongsun Lan immediately turned angry and said with a smile: "I met a few thieves who were ignorant on the road. But with the guards you sent, these people were just seeking death. When I came back, it rained heavily on the road, and it ended up in Huazhou. Who knew that the Yellow River suddenly broke into the dam that night. When we rushed into Huazhou, Huazhou was flooded. Fortunately, we ran fast and rode our horses to escape. You don't know the danger at that time. The next day, we looked at Huazhou, and it was already more than two feet deep. The Yellow River water rushed eastward and rushed into Bianzhou, Yanzhou, Puzhou, Caozhou, Yunzhou, Songzhou and other places."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Lan was a little scared.

"The water rushed into Yunzhou and rushed into Juyezawa. The Juyezawa has now become a sea. Even Liangshan, which was originally beside Juyezawa, has now become an island in the lake."

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that the Liangshan Mountains in the Song Dynasty were actually because the Yellow River broke its dam and the Yellow River water poured into the Giant Wild Lake, and finally became? Thinking about it, it should be true.

He did not expect that this heavy rain would cause the Yellow River to burst. Previously, there were continuous droughts, locust plagues, local water conservancy was lost, and no one would take care of flood control. Now, after continuous heavy rains, the Yellow River water surged and suddenly burst out. It can be imagined that the disaster caused must be greater than the previous droughts and locust plagues.

The drought and locust plague caused no harvest, but after all, some wealthy landlords can still survive. But the floods are different. The Yellow River breaks and slips, Bianzhou, Yanzhou, Puzhou, Caozhou, Yunzhou, and Songzhou are all greatly affected. The country of thousands of miles away is ruthless, so I am afraid that these wealthy landlords and wealthy families will be doomed this time.
