?The heavy rain was pouring, and the outside of Qichang City had turned into a ze country. The water level of Qishui on the northwest side of the city skyrocketed and switched the scene to the "sea-looking mode". Not only did the water in the city be severely accumulated, and the wilderness outside the city were also vast.

In Zhou, which was divided into north-south confrontation outside the city, Chen and his army were in great trouble. Although their camps were all high, they were also soaked by rain. The heavy rainstorms in the past few days caused the soldiers of the two armies to suffer. The ground was muddy and their clothes were wet. Now both sides cursed the damn weather.

The Jiangnan area is rainy, so both sides are used to it. As for dissatisfaction, there are differences: Chen's army cursed that the weather was damn that they could not withdraw their troops, and Zhou's army cursed that the heavy rain was extinguishing the hope of capturing Chen's retreat.

Yuwen Wen was one of them. He walked in the rain wearing a hat, a straw raincoat, a trouser, a clogs, and a large army was stationed outside the city, so the barracks were covered with mud. In this era without plastic water shoes, he could only wear wooden clogs. Fortunately, he soon got used to wooden clogs and was able to inspect the barracks.

Qi Changcheng was right next to him but there was no sufficient space for the army to settle in. Although the generals could enter the city and live in a dry mansion, Yuwen Wen still declined. He practiced his actions with the soldiers. Staying in a camp in the rainy season is not a good experience, but he doesn't care.

During the rainy season, wet clothes and changing clothes can only be dried by fire. Of course, the premise is that there is dry firewood. If even firewood is wet, then the fire cannot be lit.

‘If the clothes don’t work, don’t work. If it really doesn’t work, I will wear shorts and be shirtless!’ Yuwen Wen thought so.

After successfully attacking Xincai, Yuwen Wen and his team returned along the same route without stopping, and finally arrived in Qichang before the mountain torrent broke out and destroyed the road. After heavy rain, he insisted on going out to patrol the camp every day. As soon as he calmed down the morale of the army, he came to see how the baby war horses were maintained.

This is the war horse he finally saved up. According to the ratio of one person and one horse, there can be one thousand cavalry, but according to the main cavalry combat mode, only one person and two horses can count as only five hundred cavalry. Although it is not enough to reach the elite level of hundreds of battles, it is still useful.

The forage for feeding horses on rainy days must be kept dry and not contain too much water, otherwise it will easily cause diarrhea. The water quality of Qi water soars and the well water becomes muddy. People can make do with it, but the delicate war horses cannot. The food must be dry and the drink must be clean. If you fail to take care of it, you will die after a few days.

Also, bows and arrows must be treated well in moisture-proof. The hygiene situation in the camp must be taken seriously. It is so troublesome to rain. Therefore, marching and fighting in the rainy season is a headache. Not to mention the camping address, you should pay attention to it. If you don’t choose the address well, you can easily be taken away by floods, or if it is severely flooded and has caused many diseases.

Yuwen Wen turned around and confirmed that everything was normal and then returned to his tent. The laying of the tent was very simple, including armor, weapons racks, couches, desks, oil lamps, pens, ink, paper and ink, some information boxes, and carry-on luggage. There was nothing else.

He took off his hat and took off his straw raincoat and hung it. Yuwen Wen sat down in front of the desk and looked at the map above. It was the topographic map near Xiyang City. He had seen it many times. The black lines on it represent the water conservancy facilities that were repaired this year.

As the saying goes, if you don’t do anything to be a company, you don’t know how expensive it is. The governor of Bazhou now looks very glorious to others, but in fact he is on the verge of bankruptcy. Just like investors who invest all their funds in the stock market, once there is a turbulence that causes the stock price to plummet, then it will be time to go to the rooftop in a daze.

As an "abnormal human being" who wants to reverse the historical process, if he wants to realize his wish, he can only rely on soldiers to raise soldiers, he must have food. Bazhou has few land and few people to farm, so he has to repair water conservancy. To repair water conservancy, he has to require a large number of manpower, so he went to rob Chen State and rob people.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons. If you want to fight, you must prepare for your troops and be willing to invest. Therefore, Yuwen Wen overdraws his finances and military expansion to prepare for war. The financial and material resources invested in Wuzhou and Yanji are expensive, and it can be called a military force. The front line is smooth but the rear is starting to be bad.

He tried hard to pull the project and brush the dungeons to grab people back to repair water conservancy. Now that the water conservancy facilities are repaired, he may not be able to withstand the rainy season. The pressure to double the food consumed by the population is too great.

The rare heavy rainstorm has been falling for several days. If the newly built south bank embankment on the Santai River is "stumbled" then he will also follow the "stumbled". The flood will destroy crops, which will lead to a poor harvest or even a failure to harvest this year. After many overdrafts of the state's grain inventory, it will have to support tens of thousands of new people. If a "new achievement" of famine comes, he will have no face to see the elders of Bazhou.

"I don't know what happened to Xu Shao." Yuwen Wen murmured at the map. He handed over the important task of river defense to Xu Shao, and let him mobilize manpower and material resources to keep the river embankment. As long as the river embankment is safe, there will be hope for autumn harvest.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, he quickly took out a sharp weapon to lift his mind. Whenever he wanted to "steal half a day of leisure in his life", or to take out the thing when he was depressed, he instantly felt energetic and full of fighting spirit.

This is a bill, which lists the money and food he consumes every day, including the expenses needed to raise soldiers, support his family, and maintain the state office. Since the war against Chen began, the trade routes in Jiangnan have been cut off, and his own income has been cut in half. If he cannot "create income" to make up for the deficit, it will be sooner or later.

If you can't get along with your own customers, Yuwen Wen is such an unscrupulous supplier. His increasingly deflated wallet is a bit powerless in the face of unabashed expenses. The cost of raising the 5,000 Hulin Army is not a joke, and the daily consumption, including combat, is not a small amount.

The private income is half reduced, and the income of the "public" is about to end. By the end of the year, maybe even the salaries of officials cannot be paid. Yuwen Wen began to hesitate whether to do a performance art and took his two sons to the streets of Anlu to set up bowls.

"I just wanted to farm and encountered heavy rain. If the Yangtze River floods again...hey!" Yuwen Wen collected the bill and walked back and forth in the account. The heavy rain was cut off, and he couldn't go back to Bazhou. The news from Bazhou could not be spread, and he could not do anything except worry.

The Santai River is second to the flood. If the Yangtze River is flooded, the Xiyang City by the river can also be "seeing the sea". It would be fine if it was flooded, but the headache is still behind. As the saying goes, there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. When the flood recedes, the plague and other things will break out.

With the medical level of this era, if a plague breaks out, it will be a rhythm of complete destruction. If that happens, his ambition will be destroyed, and even a state cannot be managed, let alone other things.

‘If there is a plague, smallpox will be a magical one!’ Yuwen Wen thought so, the bill lifting effect is very good and he started to diverge his mind.

Yuwen Wen was not worried about the possible war in Yanji. He didn't even think there was any problem with the Five Continents. If Chen Jun dared to make a decision, he would definitely be unforgettable. Not to mention that there were a lot of arrows just prepared.

Snatch people to repair water conservancy to overdraw grain warehouses, which has great risks and great benefits. If you can survive this level of success in the autumn harvest, you will be able to recover. Organize manpower to enter the autumn grains and seize the time to open up the land. By the beginning of spring next year, the area of ​​cultivated land will double.

This is the step that Yuwen Wen had already set at the beginning of the year. The only problem is that he must be able to survive the rainy season this year. As long as the start is smooth, the follow-up work will be carried out better. Thinking about it, he feels much better.

So he decided to deal with it in the worst case.

Inexplicably, he realized that his newlywed wife was about to be occupied by the tyrant king within a few days, so he survived; he defected to his father, Anzhou, faced the danger of being attacked from both sides, so he survived; he went to Chang'an as a hostage to fight wits and courage and return safely, so he survived.

Isn’t it just a stale death? Isn’t it just a flood and a plague broke out? So what?

The river bank broke down and the crops were destroyed and then the harvest was lost. The Yangtze River flooded into Xiyang City and caused the plague to break out. Yu Wenwen picked up his pen and wrote these two shocking titles on paper, and then began to list one by one to deal with them as memorandums.

The more you don’t want to happen, the more you will happen. Yuwen Wen doesn’t want to burn incense and pray to God to do whatever he wants. If he really goes bankrupt, he will never go to the rooftop. He wants to mobilize all his strength to make a comeback.

This year, it will be a no-win situation. How many months will it be before the end of the year? I and my soldiers will take them out to grab food! If you grab the Chen State, you will then grab the mountain barbarians in the mountains of Jiangbei!

Implement the food rationing system and strictly limit the food rations of each household. If the autumn harvest pellets are not collected, the state warehouse will have to pay the distribution of grain to help the people. At that time, the distribution will be strictly controlled, no one will receive many.

After the flood, the people were mobilized to clean up and implement the Lifang constable system. Any patient in the family must be reported to the government immediately. Those who concealed and did not report it together with their neighbors drove out of Xiyang City.

No rats in the city must be killed. The accumulated water must be drained to avoid the breeding of mosquitoes and flies. The drinking water source must be kept clean. Dead poultry and livestock are not allowed to be eaten and disposed of in a centralized manner.

The drainage ditches must be cleaned, wooden buildings soaked in heavy water must be inspected, and the city walls must also be inspected to avoid being soaked in large water and there is a hidden danger of collapse. The grain warehouse may be soaked in water. Anyway, as soon as the flood is over, the grain will be opened to inspect the grain and take out the damp grain and turn it on.

The food snatched from Jiangnan cannot be taken away by itself. Although it is a lot, it must be distributed to other participating troops. The remaining food is given priority to protect the needs of Bazhou soldiers. Yuwen Wen calculated that if it really doesn't work, he would shrink the front line and give up Yanji. Of course, the five continents must not be lost.

There are so many lakes, so there are many aquatic products. If there is not enough food, use lotus root and water chestnuts to support it. If you need firewood to cook, cook and cook, then organize soldiers to go up the mountain to chop firewood. Anyway, the soldiers transferred back cannot be idle.

If the river bank is destroyed, then organize manpower to repair it. If there is a shortage of stones, I will send someone to quarry. Anyway, I will have no food to eat if I don’t participate in the labor. Thousands of prisoners of Chen’s army cannot stay in prison and get moldy.

As the saying goes, labor-for-relief, there are still several months left before the food is cut, and there are still warships that can organize people to catch fish and shrimps, and rely on the mountains to eat and drink water. If it is not possible, thousands of piglets in the pig farm will also be pulled out to slaughter.

Yuwen Wen recalled the modern knowledge he knew and wrote down all the countermeasures he could think of. Soon after, a piece of white paper was written full of. He carefully lifted the paper, dried the ink marks and folded them away.
Chapter completed!
