Chapter 186 Harvest and Rainfall

Wuba stood by the river. As the captain of the guard, he had to focus on the possible dangers in the territory. Jilin also sent him to the floodplain and the big river that passed through the plain.

Keep an eye on the possible changes in this big river.

The river water rose in two days and exceeded the warning line we inserted in the water to measure the river height.

The weather was unusually gloomy. It didn't rain here, but it didn't mean that it didn't rain elsewhere.

A continuous large-scale rainfall would cause the flow and flow rate of the river to increase. The heavy rain from the sky would fall on the mountain, forming streams, carrying mud and sand to the low-lying river.

If this continues, in two days, the bridge we built at a low place will be submerged, and the river water will spread across the plain on the other side of the river. In another day, the height of the river water will exceed the flood control dike we have built now.

The river water is already visibly turbulent. The originally clear water flow is mixed with a large number of broken branches. The stone piers of the bridge are still solid and will not be damaged by this collision.

Beside you, five brand-new watchtowers are lined up and built along the flood control dike. They will observe whether there is any abnormality in the water flow.

Wubai felt that he must immediately send someone to report the abnormal flow of the river to Ji Lin, so that his lord can prepare in time.

The natural disaster has revealed its form to everyone.

Suddenly, Wubai saw his figure. A farmer was walking along the road with a group of farmers holding shovels. They were holding talisman lamps and shovels for lighting. Now the territory gets a lot of sea fish every day, and some fish oil can be made into fuel to provide necessary lighting.

I think they are ready to work overnight.

Wubai found his name from his memory and called him.

"Old Liu, what are you going to do with this group of people?"

"Harvest the ginger and carrots on the opposite side. If there is time, harvest other things that can be harvested. Try to complete the harvest within one day. At the end of the day, whether it is completed or not, we must return to the territory."

Liu Yansheng scratched his head embarrassedly and said to the captain of the guard in front of him.

"The Lord also asked me to ask you about the flow rate of the river and whether it is safe. If it is not safe, we will not go there."

Although hundreds of acres of ginger and carrots are allowed to grow freely in the wild, the harvest is not damaged to the point where it cannot meet the needs of the territory. In order to continuously supply the seasoning to the needs of the entire territory, their growth rate is even slightly higher than the speed of collection in the territory.

If a flood floods the fields, none of these ginger and carrots will survive.

In order to cope with the autumn harvest some time ago, we almost did not spend our energy on the ginger and carrot fields on the other side of the river. The semi-wild ginger will be collected by the people in the agricultural area and sent to the canteen on time every day.

It is much better to keep it fresh in the field than to pull it out.

The ingredients used in the canteen are absolutely fresh.

These plants, especially ginger, can also be sold at a very good price in the market. If all of this batch of products are collected, the territory can hold out for a while longer in the upcoming natural disaster.

"Is that so..."

Wu Bai nodded. Now, while the river has not risen, he thinks that these people can go over to collect the products.

The bridge uses a lot of wood and steel, the quality is guaranteed, and it remains motionless in the turbulent river.

But if the water floods the bridge, it's hard to say.

"You guys go over quickly, I'll help you watch here, and I'll signal you if there's danger."

Wu Bai said, pointing to the big bundle on the top of the watchtower, and said that if he found any accidents, he would let the guards here light all five big bundles.

The brightness of the talisman lamp is too low, and the light is not clear from a little further away. If you want a brighter illumination, you still need to use a big one. When the big one is lit, the light can be clearly seen from several kilometers away.

After sending away the people who came to harvest, Wubai instructed the guards to take the information about the river changes back to the city hall to inform the lord, and the person in charge must stick to his post to monitor the river situation.

After receiving Wubai's report, the lord sitting in the city hall immediately turned his attention from the calm coast to the river, thinking about it, and mobilized all the militia and army to build a flood embankment with mud.

As long as the front-line personnel are willing to participate in the rescue and flood relief, whether they are militia or volunteers, regardless of success or failure, it is decided to notify them to get their own houses after the natural disaster is over.

This promotion mechanism itself is to shape the sense of identity of the territory for the people, so that they understand that labor can create wealth.

The people who are willing to risk their lives for the territory fully meet this standard.

The identity of the people is the most difficult thing to shape in this territory. We must create a common identity for the people to condense the loose people into the most powerful body.

Ji Lin wrote down his thoughts on paper and looked out the window.

It was already night, and Ji Lin was not sleepy at all. He handled official business in the lighted city hall. The thick cumulonimbus clouds had completely covered the sky of the territory, and no light could penetrate.

Tick-tock.

Drips of rain fell on the bricks in the night, and the sound of rustling spread throughout the territory. The misty rain and fog still emitted faint lights, which spread out and scattered into faint dots, giving this classical town a dreamlike color.

The residents who were still in their houses looked at the raindrops outside the window and listened to the sounds of nature, and they couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.

It's raining.
