As time quietly entered July, the amount of rainfall in western Guangdong was obviously higher than in previous years.

Hu Niu was thinking about going back to Changlin Village at first, but after a muddy torture, the carriage was trapped in the mud and almost couldn't come out. She also gave up this idea on her own initiative.

However, this frequent rainy weather made her feel troubled even if she chose to stay in Leizhou City.

Sometimes she planned to go to Leizhou Bay to catch the sea, or play by the West Lake, or go to the Nandu River to see the workhouse repairing the bridge. As a result, she had just left the city and a heavy rain suddenly came.

She found that she was like her brother and suddenly got stuck in the city and felt that she could not go anywhere. This made her feel uncomfortable and she prefers the sunny weather.

However, she soon ignored these worries because she realized that something was wrong. This continuous rainy weather would make the crops in Leizhou Prefecture not well harvested and would make many people hungry.

She also discovered that more and more refugees came to Leizhou City, and there were topics of flooding everywhere. Their special brother was obviously busier than usual and didn't even have time to go to the craftsman's courtyard.

Later, she became busier because she found that someone bullied refugees and needed her to teach the bad people a lesson, and also helped some refugees to work in the workshop.

Boom!

In the dark cloudy sky, a dazzling lightning flashed suddenly, illuminating the ancient city that was trapped in darkness, and then heavy rain fell again.

A tall carriage was parked in front of the government office, and several yamen members held umbrellas to greet a young official wearing a fourth-rank official uniform. A seventh-rank official even gave up his umbrella and said: "Be careful, sir!"

Lin Weiran was hit by the sudden heavy rain and finally entered the government office. Seeing the darkness around it, a feeling of helplessness surged in his heart. It was still afternoon, but it gave people the illusion of being at night.

He just went to the village on the Nandu River to check the disaster situation, and the situation was not optimistic. If this climate continues, let alone the summer grain problems, as well as the autumn grain, it will be seriously affected.

He had always thought that drought would cause serious disasters, but now he found that this flood is actually more life-threatening.

This flood not only affects the harvest of crops, but also causes traffic on official roads to be blocked and even falls into paralysis. For example, the land route from Leizhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture, the bridges of several rivers that must pass along the way have been flooded.

I can't go to the caravan anymore.

Fortunately, he opened the "Haojing-Leizhou" route and could get rice and grain from Guangzhou Prefecture.

However, the impact of this flood is larger than he thought, but it is not limited to western Guangdong. Most parts of the entire Guangdong-Guangdong region have been affected. This year's summer grain production has been greatly reduced.

The rice price in Guangzhou Prefecture soared immediately, and the price had reached 2 taels per stone, and the price would inevitably continue to rise.

If the rice price in Leizhou Prefecture was not suppressed by him, he would probably have soared with Guangzhou Prefecture. But what made him helpless was that a merchant actually wanted to sell Leizhou rice to Guangzhou City, which was so angry that he almost turned it on.

The goods were killed by cheating, and the delivery of Leizhou rice to Guangzhou Prefecture was immediately prohibited.

But the problem must be solved eventually, and the best way is naturally to get rice from Guangzhou Mansion.

However, this will prompt the price of rice in Guangzhou to soar and force the people of Leizhou to eat this high-priced rice. This is undoubtedly another squeeze for the people with meager income.

Boom!

There was another thunder in the sky, completely illuminating the courtyard.

"Be careful, sir!"

The servant helped hold a big umbrella and carefully followed Lin Weiran toward the back house.

Lin Weiran was walking quickly while listening to the soybean-like raindrops hitting the umbrella. He felt even more upset when he heard the "crackling" sound and didn't like this kind of ghost weather.

"The back house is gone!"

Suddenly, a sound rang out, and a group of officers hurriedly took buckets to put out the fire.

But not only the government office, but also the north is bright. I don’t know whose house was affected by the fire, which caused the area to be affected, and a large area of ​​the house was burned.

Lin Yuanbao walked over and asked in frustration: "Master, what should I do?"

Lin Qingran sighed lightly. Principal Wu said that his back house was too stern and he hadn't taken it seriously yet. However, he didn't expect that this was going to happen immediately, and immediately decided to say, "You pack up some things,

Move to a house outside!"

Suddenly, he found that although Hu Niu was a little playful, he sometimes did things quite reliable. If he hadn't bought this house in advance, he really didn't know where to live.

Faced with this crackling rain, Lin Xuran went to the new house outside, but there was no suspense. The wild girl Hu Niu was not at home and didn't know where to go to play.

His clothes were soaked a lot, so he went in and went straight to the bathroom and took a hot shower. After changing into a clean set of clothes, he did not plan to go back to the government office to work.

As the emperor of the government, the subordinates and a large group of officials and the Haikang County Government are under the command. He doesn't need to handle many things himself, he just needs to talk.

Lin Xuran was just thinking of reading in the study, but when he heard someone coming from Changlin Village, he immediately went to the living room.

"Uncle Nineteen!" Tietou was a young man under twenty years old. He had a strong body and a very good spirit on his face. After seeing Lin Weiran come in, he immediately stood up respectfully and greeted him.

For the backbone of Changlin Village, this high-ranking official, his eyes were undoubtedly full of admiration and admiration, and he maintained a little fear.

Lin Weiran did not deliberately take the airs, raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then asked gently: "Tietou, what's going on in the village?"

"The village is well! Uncle Nineteen, this is the money the old patriarch asked me to bring you!" Tietou maintained his etiquette and answered seriously, then handed a letter respectfully and said.

Lin Xuran took the letter, looked at the letter seriously, and asked, "Titou, what is the disaster in the village?"

"The summer grain harvest in the village is not good, and almost all the farmland in front of the village has been flooded!" Tietou said bitterly, but then added: "But our village no longer lives by growing grain. Uncle Da Biao brought it back before

A batch of grain is enough for us to eat for half a year!”

Lin Xuran knew about this, nodded and put down the letter and said, "This disaster is more serious than I imagined! You lead someone to bring a batch of medicinal materials back. Once our tribe members have symptoms of fever, you must deal with it with caution!

”

"Uncle Nineteen, you are still considerate. I will make medicinal herbs when I look back!" Tietou agreed seriously and looked at Lin Xuran from the bottom of his heart.

"After you go back, be sure to tell everyone to prevent the plague. Those dead objects floating from the river must not be eaten!" Lin Qingran said, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and said solemnly: "Some precautions about plague."

,I have listed it all above. Although some of the terms are a little stricter, the old patriarch must do as hell!"

"Okay!" Tietou took the paper and nodded very seriously.

He had thought that everything would be fine if he was hungry in the village, but after Lin Qingran said this, he realized that he was still young after all. He put away this piece of paper carefully, feeling that this was a major event that concerns the survival of the clan.

He sent Tietou away, but welcomed Lin Dahu again.

Lin Dahu is already a thousand households in Weidong Island, Leizhou. He has a standard national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tiger's back and bear's waist. At this time, he walks with a majestic way.

"See Lord Bing Bei!" Lin Dahu came in and saluted cheerfully.

He undoubtedly admired this cousin very much. He always thought that daring to make money was the only way out, but this cousin not only held a high position, but also made the Changlin family the most prominent clan.

"Lin Qianhu, please sit down!" Lin Xuran raised his hand and said gently.

"Thank you, sir!" Lin Dahu sat down properly.

Lin Weiran picked up the teacup he brought, asked directly, "How are you practicing?"

The first batch of guns were fired and sent to Lin Dahu first, but it was not that he did not trust other garrisons, but that for the need for confidentiality, the subordinates led by Lin Dahu were obviously more trustworthy.

"There is no problem anymore!" Lin Dahu seemed to have guessed that Lin Xuran was going to ask this question, and immediately answered confidently.

Lin Xuran spat a sip of hot tea, gave him a glare and said lightly: "Where is the military formation?"

"This..." Lin Dahu's face immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Xuran glanced at him and knew that Hu Niu was right. Lin Dahu did not attach importance to military training and was still keen on pirate-style single-handed fighting. He immediately said sternly: "Maybe you don't think the military formation has any effect now,

But when you really encounter the formation, you will know the importance of the military formation! You are so good, now you can’t even handle the word-long snake formation!”

"Nineteen, how could you say so badly? This long snake formation is still well trained!" Lin Dahu's tone softened, and he tried to defend himself carefully.

Lin Weiran still had a stern face and gently tweaked the tea with the cover: "Whether good or bad things have been put in front of you, and you are not a match for Hai Batian in this regard!"

"Hai Batian is indeed much better than me in terms of military formation, but if he really fights at sea, he will not be my opponent!" Lin Dahu said arrogantly.

Lin Qingran sighed slightly, knowing that these two people have their own strengths and weaknesses, so he said his intention: "If you come to Land War, Hai Batian will be the main general and you will be the deputy general!"

Lin Dahu, who was smug just now, was stunned when he said this, as if he had eaten a hundred flies.

Lin Qingran spat a little bit of tea and said seriously: "War is never a joke! Hai Batian has a high talent in this regard. If he is the leader of the army, it will reduce the casualty rate!"

"Okay!" Lin Dahu agreed helplessly.

Not to mention that Lin Qinran is his boss, if the matter is exposed to my father, his father will definitely go to Donghai Island to kill him. Even among his current subordinates, those tribe members are already Lin Qinran's loyalty.

In fact, it is no wonder that although he led everyone to find a way out and barely stood firm on the East China Island. But without Lin Qingran's care, their families would probably have starved to death, and they would not have lived like they are now.

Moisturize, and they cannot survive.

After Lin Weiran finished the talk, he did not leave Lin Dahu.

But it was not that he didn't want to have more interactions with Lin Dahu, but that the situation did not allow the situation. In addition to not letting the other people in Leizhou Guard think too much, he also made fakes on Lin Dahu's file and forged a news for Lin Dahu, so

The relationship between Lin Dahu and himself was not made public.

Perhaps for a long time, the two of them would not have too deep relationships, and this relationship was revealed by others. This matter also received strong support from the old patriarch.

The rain outside finally stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the milky white sky.

Not long after, Hu Niu ran back excitedly. When she saw Lin Weiran sitting and drinking tea, her eyes immediately burst out with light and said happily: "Brother, let's go to the fish market to buy fish and cook,

Is that good?"

Lin Qingran looked at the energetic little girl and smiled knowingly, and immediately agreed to the proposal. Going to the fish market to buy fish and cook, it has resolutely become a little fun for brothers and sisters.

However, as time goes by, the climate situation not only did not improve, but instead became more and more serious. The water levels of rivers in various places skyrocketed, and more and more refugees flocked to Leizhou City.

Leizhou City is resolutely at the center of western Guangdong, but not only refugees from Leizhou Prefecture, but also refugees from other prefectures and counties have also rushed to Leizhou City.

Wei Guozhong, the magistrate of Haikang, also worked diligently, managing affairs in Leizhou City, and working hard to deal with the victims coming from all over the place, demonstrating the conscience of an official who was baptized by the books of sages.

This heavy rain climate continued until mid-July, and the number of refugees pouring into the city gradually increased. The outer city was fully utilized to settle these refugees and establish a refugee area.

Major disasters will always be accompanied by major epidemics, and naturally, they are afraid of the plague.

Lin Weiran attaches great importance to preventing plagues. He talks about this issue almost every day at Mao hour. And the people below also take care of his guidance, check regularly at the settlement points of disasters, and beware of the outbreak of the epidemic.

When the time came to the end of July, United Mixing could not hold on anymore, and Mixing was finally sold out.

Lin Weiran gave the order and asked him to release grain in the granary. Fortunately, he reorganized the Changping Warehouse last year, otherwise this year, if he encountered such a disaster, it would probably become more serious.

Seeing the release of tens of thousands of stones of rice and grain, the people of Leizhou City were also much more at ease.

However, compared with the people of Leizhou, Gaozhou Prefecture and Lianzhou Prefecture were not so lucky. The cover of the Changquan warehouse was ruthlessly uncovered, and opening grain to provide disaster relief became a joke.

The Guangdong Censor came in person after hearing the news. After the matter was indeed correct, he immediately wrote to the court to denounce the matter. Especially in Gaozhou Prefecture, the usual warehouse of the prefecture did not have a grain of rice, but it was actually all stones, bricks and tiles.

On the last day of July, the rice price in Guangzhou was finally three taels per stone. After the United Rice Shop closed, some small and medium-sized rice merchants showed their hideous faces. The rice merchants in Gaozhou City even turned the rice price from one stone at once.

Two or one stone mentioned four or two.
