Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth try to gossip
Jiang Xingchen's premonition was very accurate. Just in early April, the old man suddenly heard news that heavy rains suddenly fell in the south near the Dali Kingdom. It took one day and one night, and many mountain torrents broke out.
After the heavy rain, the clouds did not dissipate, but instead accumulated more and began to spread to the north.
When Jiang Xingchen saw the news, he knew that his worries were really coming true. While asking the old man to continue observing, he immediately asked Grandpa Fu to prepare to publish the supplement.
Xingchenling was running at full capacity this time, and millions of supplements were shipped to most of the territory in five days.
The influence of Star Monthly magazine is quite large, and people also believe that as long as it is a supplement, Star Monthly magazine must have launched some interesting projects.
However, when people opened the supplement, they were all a little disappointed. The supplement only said one news: Xingchenling developed a brand new building material that could make the building stronger. The Heluoling embankment built by the Duan family now uses this material.
"I thought it was the news. It turned out to be an advertisement for the new building materials they designed! It's boring!"
"Yes, is the Star Monthly magazine going downhill? The monthly magazine in March has no content. This was just for advertising... It feels like a fraud!"
"It's not right. Didn't you see the Heluo Colonel mentioned here? Maybe it was through this method to clear the name of the Duan family and tell everyone that the Duan family did not cut corners!"
"I guess the name of the Duan family is only one aspect! The main thing is the advertisement. After the Lingsun of Heluo Township came out, major territories were building embankments. It is mentioned here that the Duan family also used this material to build embankments in order to attract more builders to buy it."
"It makes sense..."
Although people have some doubts about this supplement, it does not prevent people from making various speculations on the content. But no matter how they speculate, everyone agrees that the things produced by Jiang Xingchen must be wrong. At the same time, they also believe that this new building material is definitely not cheap, because the products produced by Xingchen are all high-end goods.
With the launch of this monthly issue, the Duan family incident, which has gradually fallen into dust, has been picked up again. Is it because of the big problem of the ice flood season or the responsibility of the Duan family? The two sides argued again...
On the embankment on the bank of the Lancang River, many craftsmen are building embankments.
A young man from behind ran over with the supplement of Xingchen Monthly, stopped beside a middle-aged man, and handed over the supplement. He said, "Xingchenling has developed new building materials. Should we buy them and give it a try!"
The middle-aged man took the supplement, opened it and looked at it, and sneered: "Hmph! They are clearing the name of the Duan family... If we buy it, we don't tell everyone that the materials used by the Duan family are fine! Just say that this time is different from the last time, and we can't give the Duan family a chance to regain their reputation!"
"I think we should buy some. If the effects of new materials are really the same as those mentioned in the monthly magazine..."
"Stop talking!" The middle-aged man interrupted the young man and said in a deep voice: "Do what I say!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, sighed, bowed and retreated...
In situations like the Helan Ling, almost every territory is happening on the river embankment. The newly launched building materials of Xingchen Ling are basically no one interested in them.
Three days later, Grandpa Fu frowned and found Jiang Xingchen. For three days, the only ones who asked Xingchenzhen to discuss the cement purchase were Qi Yueling, Qingshanling, Hongyuan City, and the three leaders on the east side.
"Sir, this is not possible. Let the workshop reduce its production. We have too much cement inventory!" Grandpa Fu said.
"Why, no one buys it, right?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"Yes!" Grandpa Fu nodded and hesitated: "Sir, since you want to help those territories, why don't you tell them directly that there may be a large rainstorm!"
"This sentence cannot be published on the Stars, otherwise the Emperor will be anxious! Spreading rumors and creating chaos is something that no ruler can tolerate... Even if the old man's news can be proved, at most it is only possible. No one can guarantee that there will be a flood! Even if there is really, the Emperor does not want the common people to know! Alas..."
Grandpa Fu whispered: "Is there no other way, we can only watch!"
"Of course not!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head: "We can only remind all the major lords at most."
"How to remind me?" Grandpa Fu asked.
"Let us collect news spread the news and remind them to use some means and be careful not to be discovered!" Jiang Xingchen paused for a moment and then said, "Don't worry about cement. It's the same for keeping us to build underground facilities by ourselves... I've given them the chance, they don't want it themselves, so we can't blame us!"
"Okay! I'll do it now!" Grandpa Fu responded and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Jiang Xingchen stopped him and said again: "Write a letter to several territories that purchased cement, reminding them to speed up the construction of dams, and pay attention to digging drainage channels to prevent urban flooding... In addition, start purchasing supplies!"
After Grandpa Fu left, Jiang Xingchen sighed softly again. Two days ago, the old man came to news again that the area of rain clouds increased very quickly, and two heavy rains had already fallen on the way to the north.
Now, Jiang Xingchen is almost certain that this heavy rain will cause a disaster.
"This flood is in the spring plowing period, I don't know how big the scope will be. This year, the empire is probably not going to be able to have a good time... I have done all the personnel. It seems that the focus of the next year will be shifted to attracting foreign tourists and curses... Fortunately, I have a demon dragon in my hand, otherwise the number of tourists here will decrease drastically, and it will be really hard to support so many people..."
At the same time, on the embankment of Heluotang, the Duan family and his son frowned.
"Jiang Xingchen asked us to speed up the construction progress as much as possible and strive to complete the construction of the embankment before the end of April. What's going on?" Duan Tiechui looked at the letter in his hand, a little surprised.
"I guess he was a little anxious and wanted to build underground pipeline facilities as soon as possible!" Duan Qingshi said.
"But if we rush to work, our investment..."
"It doesn't matter if you invest more. We must meet Jiang Xingchen's requirements!" Duan Qingshi said without any doubt.
"Uh!" Duan Tiechui was stunned when he heard this.
Duan Qingshi continued: "Although Jiang Xingchen spoke to us in Xingchen Monthly, the reputation of our Duan family has been lost. If the construction of Xingchen Leadership is lost, our life will be difficult... Besides, we also need an exclusive agent for cement."
"But, Jiang Xingchen has sold cement to us in the supplementary issue. Will he still represent it to us?" Duan Tiechui asked.
"Of course, Jiang Xingchen is very trustworthy... He is selling cement to the outside world now, and probably helps us. If those builders use the same materials as us, it is enough to show that the cement is good, and it also means that we will not use bad materials, which is good for our reputation restoration!"
"I understand!" Duan Tiehui nodded, then turned his head to go to the construction site!
As time goes by, the weather gets warmer and the discussion on the content of the supplement is gradually heating up. Originally, everyone thought that Jiang Xingchen's newly researched building materials would be sought after by people.
But unexpectedly, there was news that only a few territories with Xingchen Territory had a good relationship with the builder purchased something called cement under the pressure of the lord, but he did not buy other territories.
"What's the situation? Is it because the price is too high and those builders think the cost is too high and they can't afford it!"
"No, if it's too high, how can the Duan family use it!"
"You are stupid. What's the relationship between Duan's family and Jiang Xingchen? Didn't you see that the Star Monthly magazine is supporting the Duan's family?"
"If it's either expensive or because of the poor quality, this material may not be as exaggerated as written in the supplement!"
"It's impossible. Will there be quality problems with the things produced by Xingchen?"
Just as the conversation was getting full of discussion, a news suddenly spread, saying that there would be heavy rainstorms in a short time, which would likely sweep most of the empire.
No one knew that the news started, but only knew that it spread very quickly, and it spread all over the streets and alleys in just a few days.
Of course, I don’t believe more about this rumor, but less.
"It's just nonsense when I hear it, and it's raining heavily. It's not raining for more than a month, okay?"
"That's right, what's the drought now? Where does the heavy rain come from? I'm worried about what to do if there is no rain after I get food!"
"If there is a heavy rain, I will thank him..."
"Don't you believe it, I think it's possible. Haven't you seen flood control embankments everywhere now?"
"I went there. It was because of the major areas of Lingsun territories under Heluo. Is it okay? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Sabi believes that there will be heavy rainstorms!"
"If this thing can be predicted, then he will become a god..."
While this was spreading as a rumor, another statement also emerged, saying that the news of the heavy rain was deliberately spread by Xingchen Ge, in order to push out their new building materials.
"It makes sense, it's really possible. Flood control dikes are being built everywhere. They say there is heavy rainstorm, and it's after the launch of new building materials..."
"Xingchen Collector won't do such a thing, right? What is Jiang Xingchen's identity? And everyone knows that Xingchen Collector is not short of money. Even if the building materials are not sold, they shouldn't care!"
"Xingchenling is not short of money, but this is a matter of face. When did the things launched by Xingchenling be so coldly accepted!"
"You don't know. Actually, the purpose of Xingchenling is to let major builders use the same material as the Duan family to excuse the Duan family... To be honest, this new building material may not be as good as the ones used now, and it cannot be stopped when encountering a flood..." This remark suddenly appeared, causing an uproar.
And at this moment, the heavy rain began to show its terrifying power. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
