Chapter 268 Warning
"In Quzhou and Wenzhou, I heard there were several heavy rainstorms."
After hearing this, Su Shengsheng took out a map.
Looking at the river line, he frowned slightly.
Then Qing Ning and Ning Yu were asked to call the personnel in those two states to determine the water level.
Take the publication plan and start drawing.
Qing Ning and the other two noticed her serious expression and did not dare to joke, so they immediately carried out the order.
A preliminary cloud map has been constructed, but lacks relevant data.
Su Shengsheng thought about it for a moment and finally made a decision.
Whether it was a sixth sense or not, she had to take precautions first.
Then she made arrangements to the personnel in those two states.
Water level detection data is reported every half hour, storage is transferred in advance, and rice is harvested early in the rain.
Fortunately, since the two states are mostly river areas, in order to prevent waterlogging, they mostly plant early rice.
Late July is the harvest season.
It was only the recent heavy rains that delayed the harvest.
Su Shengsheng was originally only responsible for planting and was not responsible for purchasing grain.
But in order to prevent the people from suffering losses, this time the merchants were asked to spread the news and sell grain to the Su family, who would then collect the grain themselves.
This saves a lot of labor costs.
And the most important thing is that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and no one knows whether it will get moldy.
If you can buy it from the land, of course you can sell it.
What's more, the Su family collects the goods themselves, so there are still many ordinary people willing to sell them.
As soon as the agreement was signed, Su Shengsheng started working in the rain with a crawler harvester specially designed for areas with heavy rainfall.
At the same time, she also mobilized all the harvesters from other dryland counties and states to work there.
Because of the continuous rain, almost all the rice in Quzhou and Wenzhou was sold to the Su family by the people who were worried about losses.
In the past, the Su family might not have had this strength.
But the current cash flow in the account can also help with the transition.
Anyone who sees someone harvesting crops on a rainy day will call him an idiot.
Because there is no place to put it at home, it will get moldy.
Although these two states have been cloudy and rainy, other places are sunny.
The harvester only needs to harvest the grain, and the grain truck will be used to transport it away.
Coming and going, as diligently as a little bee.
Some people looked at him sideways, thinking that Su Shengsheng was taking advantage of the situation.
But the incessant rain forced them to shut up.
Five days had passed since that day, and the rain had not only not subsided but had intensified, which made Su Shengsheng's premonition even stronger.
Even though there was no solid evidence and no actual examples to draw on, she felt like it was a warning from God.
Both the water level and the precipitation far exceed the river's storage capacity. Once the dam breaks... the consequences will be unimaginable.
After all, this dynasty's ability to resist natural disasters was too weak.
Whether it was for the purpose of sleeping peacefully in the future or to avoid regrets, Su Shengsheng gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision.
When people around her first heard that she was going to evacuate the people of the two states in the rain, they almost thought she was crazy.
A city must have hundreds of thousands of people.
One state, at least 700,000 people.
And, these are two states.
Even if there are migrant workers, and some remote cities and counties have fewer people, there are still at least one million people!
And where to ship it?
Where can we find a place to accommodate so many people?
This is not just a matter between two states.
The most important thing is, why do we need to transport so many people?
Flood?
Those two states have this problem every year. Since the crops have been harvested, there is no need to do this again.
Besides, the people in the relevant areas don’t even want their homes anymore?
In the end, it was Dongzhou, Cangzhou and Wuzhou that agreed to Su Shengsheng's offer to take over.
But next, how to transport people is also a big problem.
What's more, there are still people who are unwilling to leave?
At this time, someone started to say that she yawned like a toad with a loud tone.
But unexpectedly, a large number of merchant ships were borrowed the next day.
At the same time, the Su family woman's broadcast frequency began to continuously issue warnings to various places.
Not only are there real-time national weather forecasts and warning weather reports, but newspapers are also starting to publish them.
There are help hotlines, rescue hotlines, donation hotlines, and sections that publicize donation locations.
It caused panic among the people.
Some people say that the woman from the Su family is so desperate to make money that she is creating panic to make it easier to sell things.
It’s like selling umbrellas on a rainy day.
If she hadn't created panic, the people's food might have been sold at a high price!
In order to prove that their words were not biased, they also spread the word that the Su family asked some oil-paper umbrella factories that were struggling to make a living to start producing rescue awnings, motorboats, etc.
Isn't this just looking forward to floods?
While the ancients prayed to God for protection, she was thinking about making money from disasters. It turned out that she was rich but unkind and a treacherous businessman who brought disaster to the country.
Amidst all the noise, the Su family had a hard time.
But even though my heart is broken, I dare not stop working.
The princess said that she would rather do nothing.
I wish everything those people said would come true.
It is this belief that gives them the confidence to work.
It’s best if it doesn’t happen, but if it does, there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Such a large-scale transport would hardly fail to attract the attention of the imperial court.
Unlike in the past, the news quickly reached the imperial city.
After asking whether the surrounding embankments were solid, Zong Zheng Ruijin only asked local officials to recruit laborers to reinforce the embankments, and at the same time announced to the people of the two states not to panic.
As for Su Shengsheng's evacuation, they turned a blind eye.
Most likely, he wanted to regain the emperor's dignity.
As long as nothing happens, Su Shengsheng's position in the hearts of the people will no longer be able to change.
Knowing that the court would not interfere, Su Shengsheng immediately gave orders to speed up the pace.
She really didn't want to cause panic, as that would only make the evacuation chaotic.
But the flood has begun, and life is above all else.
According to data analysis, the water levels of many large lakes such as Dongting Lake and Yunyang Lake have risen sharply, far exceeding those in previous years.
This situation happened once in 1998.
If even these areas cannot be balanced, the ability to regulate and store river water will be lost.
Once the dam breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable.
That time, even though the risk of river water backflow was detected in advance.
But we still underestimated the power of nature.
Even if a large number of troops are deployed, it is difficult to prevent the disaster from happening.
In this case, it depends on the coordination ability of officials from all regions.
But here, people almost accept natural disasters as they come.
Because there is nothing that can compete with it.
Su Shengsheng had not returned to the palace for several days, and the isolated line had been ringing with alarms.
Even Qing Ning, who has passed puberty, started to get acne on her face.
After Xie Xuan failed to bring his family back several times, he decided to stay and communicate with the generals of the two states to mobilize his family to evacuate.
Soldiers are not allowed to move without orders.
But they can convince their families to evacuate first.
The elderly and infirm are transported by vehicles.
If there is no space for chickens and ducks, they will be loaded into the truck and taken away.
Half believing, half doubting, they were influenced by the atmosphere and followed the evacuating crowd.
Originally, it was only a small half, but it soon became a large force.
The resettlement work is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Map of prefectures and counties, reception in batches according to regions.
Food and supplies arrived before the people evacuated.
As for the hardest-hit areas where water levels had risen sharply, people were the first to evacuate without any call.
When the second group of people arrived, they were already in the awning, drinking the medicinal soup.
Such a large-scale thing was done quietly.
It has attracted attention from all over the world.
She was able to organize everything in such an organized manner in such a short period of time. This can only be said to be very capable.
