Chapter 1014 Abnormal Weather
A few days later, an unseasonal gale swept across the entire Sifang County.
For the entire night, there were sounds like ghosts howling and wolves howling outside. Yun Zheng even felt that the roof of the government office was about to be blown off at any time.
"This situation is not right!"
Yun Zheng walked to the door worriedly, feeling the strong wind sweeping in, "Damn it, is there going to be a rainstorm at this time?"
"Are you worried about the seeds you just planted?"
Ye Zi frowned and asked.
"Ah."
Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Those seeds have only been planted for a short time. If there is a heavy rain at this time, those seeds may be washed away..."
These seeds were bought at the cost of thousands of lives!
If they were washed away, how could they face those people?
"Don't worry too much."
Ye Zi comforted him, "During this season, Fuzhou and even the entire Daqian will have continuous rainy days, but rainstorms are relatively rare. Moreover, Fuzhou has little rain, so the possibility of rainstorms during this season is even smaller."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
Yun Zheng frowned, thought for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Someone come!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's order, a guard immediately ran over.
Yun Zheng loudly ordered: "Order Qu Zhi to dig ditches and build dams at the official fields where the seeds brought back from overseas are planted. Be careful of floods that destroy the official fields!"
"Order the governor of Changle County to immediately prepare sacks and other flood relief supplies and send them to Guantian as quickly as possible!"
"Order Shen Kuan to immediately prepare the guards and set out with me!"
"Yes!" The guards immediately took the order and left.
"You're going there in person?"
Ye Zi was a little worried, "It's still so windy outside, why don't we wait until the wind dies down before going?"
"I'm afraid if the wind dies down it will be too late!"
Yun Zheng shook his head, "I have to go there myself to keep watch, so I can feel at ease! You guys just stay in the office with the children, don't worry about me!"
Yun Zheng didn't bother to say more to Ye Zi. After giving her a few instructions, he left quickly.
Although the terrain of that piece of official land is relatively high, it is located between two mountains. Once there is a heavy rainstorm, the water from other places will not gather there, but the rainwater around the two mountains will gather there. Once a flood occurs, it is likely to destroy the official land.
Looking at Yun Zheng's hurriedly leaving back, Ye Zi suddenly became nervous.
God!
You must not let a flood come at this time!
Ye Zi prayed silently in her heart.
Soon, Shen Kuan prepared his personal guards, and Yun Zheng did not waste any time and immediately led everyone to rush towards Guantian in the howling wind.
In the strong wind, the war horses kept neighing, but under Yun Zheng's strict order, they continued to move forward against the strong wind.
When they were almost reaching Guantian, the strong wind finally died down.
But what replaced it was dense raindrops.
"Is it really going to rain heavily?"
Yun Zheng looked up at the sky, his worries growing heavier.
Soon, they arrived at Guantian.
There are troops stationed here at all times. After receiving his order, Qu Zhi personally brought three thousand people here.
When they arrived, everyone was already busy.
Some people were cutting down trees and driving piles, while others were digging drainage ditches near Guantian.
"Your Highness, why did you come here in person?"
Upon learning that Yun Zheng had arrived, Qu Zhi hurried up to greet him.
"These are the seeds that my brothers risked their lives to buy. How can I not come?"
Yun Zheng quickly turned over and dismounted, "Order everyone to speed up the process! Shen Kuan, you also bring people to help! I think God probably doesn't want us to have an easy time!"
"Yes!"
Shen Kuan took the order and immediately called on his guards, "Hurry up and tie up the horses and go help!"
Under Shen Kuan's order, the royal guards tied up their horses and ran up to help, regardless of the heavy rain.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry so much."
Qu Zhi consoled him, "This piece of official land is located at a relatively high altitude. As long as there is no flood, it shouldn't be flooded."
"Nonsense! I'm just f*cking afraid of a flood!"
Yun Zheng looked up at the sky again, "Look at this damn weather, even with such a strong wind, the dark clouds haven't been blown away. Instead, the dark clouds are gathering more and more. There might really be a flood!"
Qu Zhi looked up at the sky, and a worried look gradually appeared on his face. "This damn weather is indeed a bit abnormal..."
Yun Zheng rubbed his neck, which was a little sore, and instructed Qu Zhi: "First, build a dam with all your strength to be prepared! I have ordered the governor of Changle County to send people to deliver the sacks. They should be delivered soon!"
"Yes!"
Qu Zhi took the order and without saying anything more to Yun Zheng, he immediately went to arrange various matters.
Since Yun Zheng attaches so much importance to it, he cannot help but take it seriously.
He knew where these seeds came from.
If a flood really destroyed this piece of government land, even in the afterlife, they would not be able to face their brothers who were buried in the vast ocean.
Rumble…
Just as everyone was doing their best to build dams and dig canals, bursts of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
As the thunder roared, dark clouds gathered in the sky.
The sky, which had been bright, gradually darkened again.
As the sky grew darker, everyone's heart tightened.
This is really the prelude to a heavy rain!
If things go wrong, there will really be a flood!
Gradually, the raindrops in the sky became bigger.
When the prefect of Changle County brought sacks with a large number of people, the raindrops hitting people's faces were already painful.
While Yun Zheng ordered his men to speed up the construction of the flood control dam, he also sent a message to Shen Kuan to quickly move the war horses to a nearby hillside.
Before we knew it, the rain was getting heavier.
Everyone's body had already been soaked by the rain.
Although it is spring in the interior of the country, I still feel cold after being soaked by the rain.
"It's raining so hard. Can I take Your Highness to find a place to take shelter from the rain?"
Shen Kuan, who was soaked all over, came to Yun Zheng and kindly persuaded Yun Zheng.
"We are already soaked, why should we avoid the rain?" Yun Zheng directly rejected Shen Kuan's suggestion, wiped the rain off his face carelessly, and shouted: "There is probably a flood coming, let everyone speed up! Send a few people to high places to observe the surrounding water level. If a flood comes, let them raise the red flag!"
"The last general takes command!"
Shen Kuan yelled and immediately ran towards several guards: "You guys, go to the opposite mountain and observe the water level around..."
As Shen Kuan ran away, Yun Zheng also ran to the side and picked up a sack full of soil with all his strength.
The soldiers nearby recognized Yun Zheng and hurried over to help him. "Your Highness, how can you do such rough work? Let's..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Go and help!"
Yun Zheng rudely interrupted the soldiers and rushed towards the wooden stakes carrying a heavy sack.
After unloading the sacks and stacking them up, Yun Zheng rushed over to carry the sacks again.
Looking at Yun Zheng carrying a sack, it seemed as if a fire was burning in everyone's hearts, dispelling all the coldness brought by the rain.
"Did you see that? Your Highness is carrying sacks! Work harder! We must reinforce this place before the flood arrives!"
Qu Zhi let out a loud roar and rushed over to carry the sack.
Under the leadership of Yun Zheng and Qu Zhi, everyone seemed to have forgotten their fatigue.
"Quick, quick!"
"Put it here!"
"Try harder..."
In this small piece of land, there are busy figures everywhere.
Everyone is working tirelessly, as if they are guarding the hope for Daqian's future...
