Chapter 515 Stormy weather

The part of the "flood" that is higher than the "channel" overflows out of the channel and inundates all the acres of rice fields on both sides of the river. When it flows through the blocked curve, all the "people" on both sides are carried away like duckweeds.

Some theatergoers who were closer were also swept to the ground by the huge water rushing out, sliding several feet away...

The people who saw this "simulated flood" with their own eyes were stunned and shocked.

This is just a bucket of water that can bring about such a tragic situation. If a flood really comes and the Wen River overflows, how many of the people living on the bank will survive.

At this time, the chief village chiefs of each village who were hurriedly rushed here vaguely guessed King Rong's intention.

But what Xiao Yinhan wanted to do was not just this. Before everyone could come out of the scene, he suddenly raised his hand.

The black-armored guard beside him rushed into the crowd and arrested several common people.

"I, in accordance with the law, urge everyone in Huai'an Prefecture to build water conservancy projects and dredge river channels. Anyone who stirs up dissension and disturbs the people's hearts will be killed without mercy."

As the man's cold and cold words fell to the ground, the long knife in the armored guard's hand also fell, and the few people who were captured were splattered with blood on the spot.

The people's faces were pale with fear. The faces of the villagers standing at the front were all green. Some of them had weak legs and almost fell down. If it were not for the support of people around them, they would also fall down.

At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance coming closer. Everyone looked over with trembling eyes, not daring to think about what was coming this time.

"King Rong accepts the decree..."

A high-pitched voice sounded from the horseback. When the man in green robe took out the bright yellow imperial edict, everyone realized what had happened and knelt down in panic.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I heard that the water conservancy in Huai'an Prefecture was ineffective and the canals were blocked, so I sent officials from the Ministry of Industry to supervise the dredging. I have Prince Rong supervise it on my behalf. I hereby express my gratitude."

In the restaurants on both sides, there were some people who were originally worried, but after hearing the imperial edict, they all felt bad.

"It's over, it's completely over this time..."

With the imperial edict, King Rong's move completely changed from private behavior to official business.

Even Cui Shuwang couldn't help but click his tongue. Originally, he was worried that someone would end badly if he did this, but he forgot that he had the biggest backer behind him...

"Your Majesty, accept the order!"

When Xiao Yinhan received the imperial edict, the eunuch who had been carrying the edict with a serious face just now changed to a humble and friendly smile: "The emperor's imperial edict is late, it will delay His Highness's work, so the special servant will come quickly. Your Highness wants to

Officials from the Ministry of Industry are already outside the city and will arrive today..."

The people who were kneeling on the ground became even more frightened when they heard the eunuch who was delivering the decree talking so flatteringly to the prince.

"If nothing happens, Your Highness, I have another imperial edict to send to the governor of Huai'an Prefecture. I will take my leave now."

After hearing the eunuch's words, Xiao Yinhan raised his head...

-

With the imperial edict, everything that follows becomes natural.

If Jiang Tang's previous arrangement was as gentle as water, neither quick nor slow; when he arrived at Xiao Yinhan's place, he was resolute, tough and direct.

The officers and soldiers of the squire who occupied the main river directly ransacked their homes, and all the fields in their homes were nationalized. The most violent ones were beheaded at Caishikou on the day they were captured. The people all gathered around to watch, looking at the squires who used to be so aloof, their heads fell to the ground like watermelons.

, for the first time, they truly felt how terrifying this legendary prince was.

If you don't take action, you will see blood. If you take action, you will see blood...

After being reprimanded by the emperor, the people sent this time were all experienced hard workers. As soon as they arrived in Huai'an, they immediately went to work and began to inspect the current status of various rivers, canals, waterways and other water conservancy projects.

This investigation really revealed a lot of problems.

For example, in the Wen River, the largest river in Huai'an Prefecture, most of the north gate water tunnel used for water drainage is blocked by random wood and masonry. According to this situation, once a flood occurs, the impact force will be huge, and the entrance of the tunnel will be directly broken.

Officials who realized the problem immediately recruited river workers to start dredging the river and building gates and embankments.

In addition, there are other issues, large and small, which are all being carried out in an orderly manner.

I don't know if it was God's will, but from the day the officials arrived in Huai'an, Huai'an Prefecture, which rarely rains, began to rain one after another.

However, because the rain was too light, it did not attract anyone's attention.

What everyone is afraid of is just the reincarnated King Rong...

-

[Host, the male protagonist and the others are doing their best to save it. Do you think it’s useful? 】

Jiang Tang held an umbrella and looked at the gloomy sky, reaching out to catch the cold rain.

She paused when she heard the system's words, and then slowly retracted her hand: "Who knows."

On the night of their conversation, the earth was awakened by the roar of thunder, strong wind and rain, and lightning flashes. The heavy rain that had been delayed for many days suddenly fell on relatives and friends.

【Host, host, thunder!】

Jiang Tang was first awakened by the thunder, and then completely awakened by the system's nervous call.

【The rainstorm is coming! It has begun!】

Unable to sleep, she simply got up from the bed. The heavy rain made a crackling sound on the tiles.

Jiang Tang got up and opened the window, and immediately the cold wind and rain blew in, falling on her thin clothes, bringing an icy chill.

The trees outside the house were swaying like ghosts. She pursed her lips slightly and finally said: "Do your best and obey fate."

With such manpower, they had already done what they could, but she didn't know what the result would be.

Many people were awakened by the thunderstorm tonight, and many people in Huai'an Mansion were also frightened. Children cried and made noise all night long, and dogs barked incessantly.

But because it has been raining in the past few days, everyone doesn't really care about it. It will stop raining anyway.

However, no one thought that this was just the beginning. The first day, the second day, the third day... the heavy rain continued for three days without getting any lighter. On the fourth day, three to four feet of water accumulated on the flat ground in the city, and the drinking water surged.

There is an overwhelming posture...

The streets were flooded, beds were soaked, and the people woke up from their sleep, crying and shouting for help. The city was full of cries...

Heavy rains in Huai'an Prefecture for days have caused disasters.

When the news came back to the capital, Emperor Huaiwen was shocked: "Where is King Rong?"

"Back to the emperor, when the slaves left, King Rong has been entrusted with supervising the affairs in the city."

"What……"

Emperor Huaiwen swayed slightly and almost fainted.

The eunuch on the side hurriedly supported him: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body. Your Highness has known for a long time that there will be floods in Huai'an, so he must be prepared!"

"His Royal Highness King Rong has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him. The top priority is to send troops to provide disaster relief!"

After hearing the words of the Prime Minister, Emperor Huaiwen managed to calm down: "Publish my decree and immediately dispatch the troops around Huai'an Prefecture to rescue the disaster. You must, you must protect King Rong, without any loss!..."

At the same time, when he learned that Huai'an was flooded, Liu Chengsi, the capital's water supervisor, stumbled and fell directly to the ground.
