The rain took everyone by surprise.
The only thing they could be thankful for was that they had made preparations early, and the twenty days of rain only made the weather in Yizhou too humid. The clothes were half dry and wet, but Yizhou was not flooded.
In two days, the rain should stop.
As everyone was looking forward to it, the rain gradually became lighter and turned into a drizzle. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the rain did not continue to get heavier. If it continued to rain, the river channel they built might not be able to accommodate it.
But what no one expected was that the rain did not stop. Instead, it changed from a drizzle to a heavy downpour. Everyone then realized that this rain was not that simple.
Such a scene was something that not only others but even Jiang Ruming had never seen before. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing in his life. He even suspected that someone had poked a hole in the sky, causing the water in the sky to flow back.
If the sky hadn't been broken, how could there be such a scene?
At this time, many people stood at home and watched the rain outside the window. There were many puddles on the ground. Fortunately, there were ditches to prevent their homes from being flooded and the rain from seeping in. But if it continued like this, they could not have predicted what would happen next. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
"Master, do you want to go buy some more?" The lady with her hair tied up in a headscarf asked worriedly. She looked at the rain falling from the eaves outside in streams and rivers, with a trace of worry between her eyebrows. Before the man could speak, she continued, "If it continues like this, the rain will never stop. When it gets heavier later, it will be difficult to go out. The firewood at home is almost burned out. I heard from Mrs. Zhao next door that many people have gone to the store to buy it recently. Should we go? Will it be sold out later and we won't be able to buy it?"
"Didn't I just buy it a few days ago?" The honest man also frowned and said something, but he didn't want to listen to his wife's nagging, so he took off his raincoat and hat and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Then, without waiting for the woman to say anything, he dived into the rain. Even though he was wearing a straw raincoat and a raincoat, his warm body instantly felt wet in the heavy rain. It was the rain that penetrated the raincoat and soaked his clothes.
The man didn't care about his condition. He squinted his eyes and walked carefully towards the store. Due to the continuous rain, everything was white and he couldn't see clearly. Everything seemed to be covered by a veil.
If an unfamiliar person walked along the road, he probably wouldn't even know which way to go, let alone find the store. But the man had walked this road hundreds of times and knew where the store was with his eyes closed. But when he arrived and saw the long queue outside the store, he realized the situation was more critical than he thought.
He hurried over and lined up at the end of the line. He inquired from the people in front of him and asked, "The store doesn't limit the purchase weight, so why are there so many people lining up?"
As the rain was quite loud, he did not speak loudly for fear of disturbing the people around him. Although his voice was weak, fortunately the person standing in front of him was standing sideways and heard what he said, so he turned around and spoke to him.
The man standing sideways frowned with deep worry. Hearing this, he sighed and said helplessly, "It is limited in weight, but there are many buyers. A few days ago, each person was limited to 20 kilograms. Only half a month has passed, and each person is already limited to 5 kilograms. It is conceivable that if you don't buy more now, in half a month, there will be no one left in this city except the rich families."
The man finally understood why there were so many people queuing up. He asked again, "If each person buys five catties, wouldn't that mean the whole family has to come and buy it? And it's raining so hard now. If it rains for another half an hour..."
He didn't say
Go, but the other party also knew what he meant.
If a person gets a fever after being rained on for half an hour, it will be difficult to save him.
The merchants looked at the long queue outside, seeing that they were standing in the rain with no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but worry about the future. The purchase limit has been changed from 20 kilograms to 5 kilograms. Although the superiors have good intentions, this has also caused people who have not stockpiled to come out to stockpile, and those who have stockpiled still come to buy. Compared with the previous purchase limit of 20 kilograms, now people have brought their families with them, just to buy a little more, just in case of emergency.
The merchants also understand that even if the purchase limit is changed back to 20 kilograms, it will still not be able to stop families from coming to buy, and the large amount of goods in the warehouse will only be consumed.
The rain keeps falling and the feeling of uneasiness cannot be eliminated. We can only hope that the rain will stop soon.
All of this was seen by Jiang Ruming's entourage, who became worried when they saw that the number of people buying was only increasing.
After that, he checked a few more shops and found that all the shops in the city were selling things in the same way. The attendant did not dare to delay and reported the matter.
After Jiang Ruming learned about this, his frown never relaxed. In front of him was a map of the entire Yizhou city after the river was built. All the problems were insignificant compared to the river, but the scene of the people in the city buying things was also difficult for him to solve.
Too tricky.
It is raining heavily now, and the roads leading to the counties from Yizhou City have been blocked in two counties, making it impossible to reach the two counties. Although Yizhou City has the largest granary, it cannot provide all the supplies to Yizhou City alone. As for other places, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.
It's difficult.
Jiang Ruming estimated that the purchase limit of the warehouse in Yizhou City could last for a long time, but the people who went out to buy in the rain might not be able to hold out, and there might not be enough medicinal materials in the city.
This is just the case in Yizhou City. In other counties, medicinal materials are even more scarce.
As Jiang Ruming thought about this, he could not ignore the situation in the city. He immediately wrote a memorial and sent someone to deliver it to the capital in an emergency over a distance of 800 miles. He then made an appointment with merchants and medicinal material dealers to discuss matters in the city with them.
Li Le, who was far away in the capital, only heard about the events in Yizhou City, and also heard that Zhao Xuan had volunteered to go to Yizhou City.
This series of events made Li Lezhi stunned for a few seconds.
The situation in Yizhou City is more dangerous than he thought. Add to that Zhao Xuan, if he is not mistaken, Yizhou City is Zhao Xuan's life calamity, and he might even die in this calamity.
Li Lezhi didn't know whether Zhao Xuan's fate could be changed. Perhaps, he should do something.
He is just a fortune teller, what can he do? Hold a ceremony to pray to the gods to stop the rain?
This is a bit beyond his ability.
Never mind, fortune telling is fortune telling. At least he can remind the people of Yizhou City in time before the danger comes.
Therefore, before Zhao Xuan was about to go to Yizhou City, Li Le found Zhao Xuan alone and talked to him about this matter.
Zhao Xuan had a complicated expression on his face. When he learned that Taoist Li was also going, an inexplicable pressure enveloped his heart. He knew how dangerous the situation in Yizhou was at that time. If the river bank burst and the flood rushed down, not to mention him, even if God came, he might not be able to save Taoist Li's life.
If Taoist Li loses his life because of this, it will be a huge loss for Daliang.
Zhao Xuan wanted to dissuade them.
Li Le only said: "Your Highness, there is no need to say more. This trip is destined. ?(??)_[(w.)]?1 Come???????Read the latest chapter??Full chapter?(wx)?"
Zhao Xuan: “……(w)?”
Zhao Xuan was speechless. Taoist Li even brought up things that were destined. He must know what will happen in Yizhou City. Perhaps whether Yizhou City can survive this crisis depends entirely on the Taoist alone?
It was possible to issue an order to force Taoist Li to stay in the capital, but it was just an idea. Zhao Xuan had no choice but to nod and agree to let Taoist Li go to Yizhou City with him.
(w)?
Because Li Le was the only one going there, Zhao Xuan added some more manpower to avoid any accidents.
(w)?
The Sixth Prince Zhao Chen was just preparing to arrange men to ambush him in Yizhou City and send him off, but before he could make the arrangements, he heard that the number of men Zhao Xuan brought had doubled.

(w)?
Zhao Chen: ...
(w)?
Zhao Chen was so angry that he smashed his beloved teacup, and couldn't help cursing in his heart when he saw this.
Those who knew him knew that he was going to disaster relief, while those who didn't thought he was going to fight. Thousands of people accompanied him, what a big deal.
When Zhao Chen learned that Zhao Xuan expanded the team of 100 people to 1,000 people because Li Le wanted to go to Yizhou City with him, he wanted to strangle Li Le to death.
He is everywhere.
There are bad things everywhere, really...
Zhao Chen was suddenly shocked. Since the other party dared to follow Zhao Xuan to Yizhou, could it be that he had figured out that Zhao Xuan was planning to attack Zhao Xuan in Yizhou City, and the personnel arranged were also to guard against him?
Didn't Zhao Xuan already know what he had done? Why did Zhao Xuan still keep his composure and not report it to his father? Did he want to catch him in a trap by taking advantage of the Yizhou City incident?
Zhao Chen sneered when he thought of this. Fortunately, he was resourceful and discovered Zhao Xuan's conspiracy early on.
Zhao Xuan was indeed not a person to be worried about. They even made a big fuss to arrange for someone to capture him. Was he really not afraid that he would find out, or did he not take him seriously?
Isn't this too stupid? As the crown prince, Zhao Xuan shouldn't be so stupid. Is he trying to use this incident to warn him so that he won't be greedy?
Zhao Chen's face changed again and again, and he slammed the table angrily, unable to swallow this anger, but in the end, he still did nothing.
Well, he did good deeds and accumulated virtue, so he let Zhao Xuan live a few more days.
Zhao Xuan didn't know that the manpower he had just mobilized to protect Li Le would be mistaken by his sixth brother as a warning to him.
He was now sitting in the carriage and worried from time to time, worrying about how to protect Taoist Li's life after several trips to Yizhou City.
Li Lezhi was also in his carriage, calculating what would happen to Zhao Xuan in the future and what the Sixth Prince was going to do.
When he calculated, he found something strange. If Zhao Xuan's fate was previously connected with the Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince's actions would affect Zhao Xuan's future. But this time, Zhao Xuan's fate was the same as before and had not changed.
He thought it was related to the Sixth Prince, but the second divination he made about the Sixth Prince did not produce any result. There were only two possibilities: one, the divination he made was wrong, and two, the Sixth Prince really had no intention of doing anything.
In the past, he would have doubted that his divinations were inaccurate, but he had calculated so many divinations and most of them were accurate. The result this time should be the second one.
Could it be that Zhao Chen was frightened by the manpower mobilized by Zhao Xuan and dared not take action?
If this is true, it would be the best result. But if his calculation is wrong, then it is hard to say what will happen next.
Li Le only frowned slightly. He calculated Zhao Xuan's fate again, but there was still no change. It was still the same as before.
Assuming that his calculations were correct, and the person who was to suffer the disaster in Zhao Xuan's Yizhou City was not the Sixth Prince, then who would it be?
Li Le was just curious about the answer, so he asked for another fortune telling.
