Chapter 1113: flood
Chapter 1113 Flood
"Ma'am, the embankment has burst, and there is a flood in Nanzhou." Steward Luo quickly entered the door, and when he said this, the servants around were also anxious.
Ye Muyu hurriedly asked: "Where is Yuzhou, is there any flooding?"
In Yuzhou, Chu Heng is in charge of flood control. If Yuzhou is flooded, Chu Heng is the first person in charge.
"Ma'am, Yuzhou has also risen, but the master has already prepared, so don't worry."
Ye Muyu hummed, "You continue to inquire about news, if you come back with new news, come to me."
Butler Luo immediately turned and went out.
The rising flood was like a sign. It began to rain everywhere, and it rained in Yuzhou for a month.
Heavy rain rarely occurs, but it still causes flooding.
Even the wharf in Yuzhou is full of water above the ankles.
This is the case here, but the county towns and villages below are even more serious.
Ye Muyu and Xiang Linger waited for the housekeeper to deliver the letter every day.
On the third day of the flood, Ye Muyu learned that the villages and towns below Yuzhou were also flooded, and a lot of crops in the fields were destroyed, but before that, most of the people were moved to the mountains, whether they lived in caves or In short, the wheat harvested in May was saved, and most of the family property was also saved, but the house was destroyed.
This is much better than being washed away by the river, penniless, and becoming a refugee.
On the sixth day, the flood was a little smaller, especially in the upper reaches of Yuzhou. The people affected by the disaster had returned to their homes and built houses. There were no refugees. Although some people went to the county to ask for compensation, they were stabilized.
On the seventh day, Ye Muyu finally received a letter from Chu Heng, which told her to stay at home and not to go out, and asked Steward Luo to transport the prepared medicinal materials to Yuzhou first.
At the same time, Ye Muyu got the news that there was a flood in Nanzhou, and Chu Heng was arranging manpower to rescue the people in the accident, and all kinds of boats were running rampant on the water.
Ye Muyu couldn't do things to go to the front line, so she waited patiently at home every day. Besides, she arranged the house and ordered the long-term workers on the village to collect the medicinal materials.
With such a serious flood, it is estimated that many people have suffered from wind and cold.
Together with Lu Sangqi, Ye Muyu selected the medicinal materials and made them into a medicine for treating wind and cold, and asked his subordinates to send them to Chu Heng.
"Ma'am, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court has arrived, and Guo Zhizhou has already gone to pick him up."
"By the way, Guo Zhizhou came from Nanzhou, and he has been following the master to save the people before."
Butler Luo came in and hurriedly told the news.
"Okay, I see, continue to ask people to inquire about the news."
Ye Muyu sent Steward Luo away, feeling uneasy for some reason.
Seeing her like this, Lu Sangqi sat lazily on the stool next to her, "Don't you believe in my medical skills? Chu Heng used my medicine, even if he was terminally ill, he could save his life."
"Really so powerful?" Ye Muyu didn't mind his complacent look at this time, and asked curiously.
Lu Sangqi straightened his back: "Of course, you can question my character, but you cannot question my medical skills."
Ye Muyu suddenly smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed.
Soon, yamen all over Yuzhou began to issue decoctions for wind and cold.
With the cooperation of the Yamen, the people affected by the disaster soon went to the Yamen to get medicine one after another.
It took half a month for Yuzhou to gradually subside, and the rest is to appease the affected people from the court.
Under the leadership of Guo Zhizhou, the flood in Yuzhou soon did not spread too far, but only damaged some houses.
