Chapter 164 The expected flash flood

Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong didn't even kiss each other, how could they be pregnant and give birth to a child? If they really had a child, Yun Chu should ask properly.

In total, Yu Xiurong is half a year older than Yunchu. Seventeen-year-old girls in Guanzhong seem to develop earlier than girls in other places. Therefore, Yu Xiurong has already grown into a slim figure, unlike Naha who only grows taller.

, can’t tell clearly from before to after.

Although he didn't have a figure that could explode at any moment like Gongsun, from Yun Chu's point of view, he was more than good enough for him.

The last time I saw Yu Xiurong with her charming eyes and face like an apple, I couldn't help but sneak a kiss on the cheek. If I hadn't been so skilled, I would have been hit in the crotch and my legs would be cut off.

For this reason, Yu Xiurong did not come to the Yun family again for a full month.

The Yun family gave a betrothal gift to the Yu family, and it was under the witness of three mediators and six witnesses. The betrothal gift was not much. Apart from the customary betrothal gifts such as wild geese, they could only offer four kinds of gifts, but that was it.

The four betrothal gifts have already made many women in Chang'an weep secretly.

A blue and white mare, I heard it was pulled from the stable of King Huihe. There is a wolf head pattern of King Huihe on the horse's butt.

A white jade Maitreya Buddha statue is said to be a betrothal gift from Yunchu's sister Tian. This mutton-fat jade Buddha statue was carved by the most famous jade carver "Han Ba ​​Dao" in Chang'an for half a year.

Neither the raw jade nor the carving of the "Eight Swordsmen of the Han Dynasty" is the precious thing about this future Maitreya Buddha. The most precious thing is that Master Xuanzang's blessing made this Jade Buddha one of the eight betrothal gifts.

The most noble existence.

As for the thousand taels of gold at the back and the papermaking shop with more than a hundred craftsmen, they are not worth mentioning.

Even Quiet Yu, like Yu Xiurong, pulled her back to the Yun family on the spot after seeing these betrothal gifts.

It's not that she doesn't accept it, it's that she simply doesn't dare to put these things at home. After all calculations, only the Yun family in Jinchangfang is the safest.

Jinchangfang has killed countless snitches and thieves over the years, especially those who can jump over walls and cross houses. They often disappear after entering Jinchangfang.

Then, those big thieves who harbored the snitches into the city and shared the stolen goods will soon be in trouble. Zhang Jia has been a bad guy for the past two years and has made a lot of money just by catching big bandits. His bravery has become even more famous.

Beijing.

Every May, Chang'an will experience a heavy rain.

Whenever a heavy rain is about to come, Jinchangfang will be facing a formidable enemy. They will clear out ditches, straighten out waterways, drain out all the water in ponds, block karez wells with sluice gates, and seal all wellheads to prevent rainwater and sewage.

To pollute the water source, Yun Chu personally led the team to inspect every house. As long as there were dangerous houses, dangerous walls, etc., they would be destroyed first, leaving no hidden dangers.

Accumulate a large amount of charcoal and firewood, and place a large amount of lime and charcoal in granaries and warehouses to prevent moisture.

Prepare gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, and skin medicine just in case.

The reason why he prepared this thing was a bloody lesson. Yun Chu still dare not recall what he looked like when he encountered the first heavy rain in Chang'an.

It was like the bottom of the Tianhe River leaked, and the water just poured down. The originally dry Jinchangfang became a Zeguo within half an hour.

There was water everywhere and debris floating everywhere. Within one day, sixty-seven houses of Jinchang Square, which had just been formed, collapsed, and the walls of the square collapsed in six places. Nine people were trapped underneath by the collapsed houses, etc.

When it was cleaned up a month and a half later, the person had turned into white bones under the action of water and high temperature.

Therefore, Yun Chu spent a lot of effort this year to prepare for disaster prevention and relief. He also specially formed a disaster relief team to go wherever danger appeared. Basically, everything was foolproof.

In the afternoon, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the earth became dark in an instant.

At the same time, the muffled thunder in the sky was coming intermittently, and the people of Jinchangfang, who had been waiting for the rainstorm for a long time, were gearing up to fight the coming rainstorm with the most complete preparation.

An hour later, dark clouds rolled in, like a monster coming, and gusts of wind made the big windmill with its fan blades squeaking, as if it would topple over at any time.

Another hour later, golden snakes were dancing in the sky, and lightnings connected one after another, inlaying the dark clouds with golden edges one after another.

Another hour later, raindrops the size of soybeans poured down overwhelmingly. All the strong men in Jinchangfang were mobilized to inspect every important place in Jinchangfang. Even pregnant women and babies were placed on the ground by Yun Chu.

Higher home.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yunchu looked at the clear sky, feeling the urge to scold her mother.

Similarly, the villagers who were ready to fight a tough battle also followed their elders and stared blankly at the bright white sun in the sky.

"Chief, do we still need to be on alert for the entire village?"

Fangzheng Liu Yi, wearing a thick raincoat and holding a shovel in his hand, carefully asked the chief of his family, who seemed to have a very bad temper.

Everyone is disappointed.’

If there is no preparation and the rainstorm does not come, the residents will just feel like they have received an amnesty and think that they are lucky and are being taken care of by God.

If you are not fully prepared, you will not be disappointed, you will just feel that you don’t have to worry about it.

Now, in order to prevent this heavy rain, Yunchu has armed the villagers to the teeth, waiting to fight the storm, and finally win the battle.

Now, this torrential rain is caused by those who bully the weak and fear the strong. They actually did enough foreplay, and finally washed the streets of Jinchangfang with a little rainwater, and then ended the matter hastily.

How disappointing this is.

"Wow wow wow -" A baby's rapid cry woke everyone up. Yun Chu looked back blankly and saw a midwife, happily shouting to a man: "Hesheng, Hesheng, your mother-in-law has given birth, here you go"

A baby is born, mother and child are safe."

The strong man named Hesheng howled and rushed into the Yun family gate as if he had never given birth to a child.

Yunchu looked desperately at the city of Chang'an without a cloud or a breath of wind, and said feebly to Liu Yi: "Just do whatever you have to do. It doesn't look like it will rain this time."

Liu Yidao: "In this case, aren't we preparing and practicing in vain? We have also wasted so much time. The cafeteria was closed for two days because of this. How much money will be lost?"

Yun Chu roared angrily: "Come on, open the karez for me, block the canal downstream of Liu Yi's house, pour all the water into Liu Yi's house, and let's go to his house to fight floods and provide disaster relief..."

Liu Yi ran away. He knew that if he said a few more words, the angry village chief might actually take people to his house to fight floods and provide disaster relief.

"It is unlucky for another woman to give birth to a baby in our house." Ms. Cui sat under the eaves and led a group of fat men to pick cotton.

"Who makes you not want to give birth to a baby? If you could give birth, there would be many servants and maids running around in our yard."

Ms. Cui smiled and said, "Lang Junjing said angry words."

Angrily, Yunchu returned to the study, opened the calendar again and looked at the third day of May. He remembered it very clearly when he was traveling in Shaanxi. The tour guide said that in the fifth year of Yonghui, on the third day of May, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were sleeping.

They were almost washed away by a flash flood. Fortunately, Xue Rengui shouted that a flash flood was coming, so Li Zhi and Wu Zetian escaped... Could it be that the tour guide was talking nonsense?

Since a flash flood could almost drive away the emperor, God knows what Chang'an City would become like. If he didn't have this memory, why would Yun Chu go to such great lengths to practice disaster relief in Jinchangfang?

Even though the heavy rain the year before last year caused serious damage to Jinchangfang, it was because of that heavy rain that all the dilapidated buildings and walls in Jinchangfang were removed, so we were not afraid of ordinary rain at all.

Yunchu entered the Great Ci'en Temple where Xuanzang was not there, climbed up to the tall Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and looked at the imperial city in the golden sunset.

The golden sunshine shines on the imperial city, shining brightly on the inner city. In the distance, the green grass on Longshou Plain is green, making the city as beautiful as a picture scroll.

Why doesn't it rain anymore?

You must know what Li Ji said, Xue Rengui, the right-hand leader of the three men, is in great need of this rescue effort.

Li Zhi also needs to see that only the military supports him, and only the military will take his life seriously.

Why doesn't it rain?

Yunchu stood on the tall Big Wild Goose Pagoda Mountain and beat his chest and stamped his feet.

It was still dark, so Yun Chu opened the window and looked outside. It still hadn't rained. The sky was unbelievably clear. It looked like today was going to be another hot and boring day.

After breakfast, Yunchu rode a bay-red horse to the construction site of Guangfufang.

At this time, large groups of ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, and donkey carts were transporting construction waste from Guangfu Fang outside the city.

Pei Xingjian came earlier than Yunchu. When Yunchu came to the door of the young man's house and started to ask for biscuits, Pei Xingjian came over and took away a biscuit. While eating, he said to Yunchu: "Build for me in vain."

House, can you really make a profit from it?

I mean, on the premise of building brick houses for the people, do you really think that taking away half of the people’s land is a profitable thing?”

Yun Chu bit into the biscuit and said: "What I bought is not just a piece of land, but also the dense population around it and the living environment that has been in business for many years, not to mention that it is close to Zhuque Street. Do you think a house here is worth it?"

How much?"

Pei Xingjian thought for a moment and said, "A house with an area of ​​one acre is worth two hundred guan!"

Yun Chu curled his lips and said: "Chang'an people don't farm in their yards, and most people don't need a garden. You can build a very good two-story house on half an acre of land."

"The price of bricks and tiles is not low, plus the price of transportation..."

"Because there is no land value, I built the house here as shown on my drawings. I contracted it to the construction team for a total price of fifty-seven yuan. I also specially designated a brick and tile supplier. The remaining white ash, wood, hemp,

Iron and other large and small materials are also contracted to suppliers in Xishi.

We also agreed to pay them the materials and wages after the house is completed."

Pei Xingjian looked at the drawings that Yunchu had brought, and Yunchu noticed that his legs began to shake involuntarily.

After a long while, Pei Xingjian asked with difficulty: "You haven't started selling the unfinished houses here, have you?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "If I don't sell the house, how can I have the money to pay suppliers, large and small, and pay materials and labor to the contracting team?"

Pei Xingjian's leg-trembling problem began to spread, and it gradually changed from his legs to his arms and hands. His trembling hands shook the drawings drawn by Yun Chu and made a squeaking sound.

"In other words, you didn't spend a penny, just opened your mouth, and then built a long street that was ruined by Zhurong, and also built a huge inn and a huge canteen for yourself?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Not only that, after paying the materials and wages, and giving them the houses promised to the residents, there should be twenty houses left for me.

If you want it, I can sell it to you at the original price of two hundred guan a set."

Pei Xingjian couldn't stop his body from shaking and spit out three words from his throat: "Why?"

Yun Chu said leisurely: "Just because I, Yun Chu, have a good reputation for sending millions of gold to orphans and widows without any evidence, people are willing to listen to me and believe that I will give them money after they finish their work and provide materials."

."

Pei Xingjian was about to speak when he saw a horse running over crazily and handing a document to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian checked the paint, opened the document, glanced at it, and said to Yun Chu in surprise: "I received a message from Fei Ge from Jiucheng Palace. His Majesty encountered a flash flood in Jiucheng Palace last night!"

Hearing what Pei Xingjian said, Yunchu felt his nose sore. The damn flash flood finally came as scheduled. The beautiful tour guide didn't lie. He just remembered wrongly. The flash flood was in Jiucheng Palace, not Chang'an.
