"Dad, do you want to reinforce the cattle pen?"
"Go if you want to! The wind and rain are so strong, you won't be able to come back once you go!"
"My father, can His Majesty foresee God's will?" Erhu's mother had changed her tone.
"Yes. If it weren't for Your Majesty, my family's ten-plus acres of rice would have been completely flooded this time."
"That's right. If it weren't for His Majesty inventing the thresher and ordering the officials to help us... people like Tenth Sister's family would still have half of their rice unharvested."
Erhu's parents were afraid to sleep because the wind was so strong that they were afraid the roof would blow off. Some of their houses were tiled and some were thatched.
As the two were talking, a few more tiles were blown away, and Erhu's mother was so scared that she quickly crawled into her husband's arms.
Even poorer families, like those in a village in neighboring Dongyun County, mostly lived in thatched huts. Some had already been blown over by the strong wind. A whole family, hugging each other, burst into tears.
The wind howled and the rain poured down, as if to destroy the world.
From time to time, there was the sound of branches snapping. It must be at least force 12!
"Xiao Lian, you and my younger brother, hide in the big vat. You can only come out after the rain stops tomorrow. Do you hear me?"
"I heard you, mother! Mother, what are you going to do?"
"Mother wants to..."
It was also on this night that some people no longer had anyone to call their mother.
"Did Yu'er go to His Majesty's place?"
"Yes." Qiuyu's father's eyes were filled with worry. "How happy she is now, how sad she will be in the future. The emperor's favor is very much like the wind and rain now. It comes with a gust of wind and leaves in a hurry, but it has caused countless damage."
"Everything is determined by fate, and we have no control over it. In a few days, His Majesty will take Yu'er back to the capital, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see her again. We might as well tell Yu'er that she has someone in the capital... so she can take care of her."
"Don't mention this matter again!"
At this moment, Liang Qiuyu, who was in the emperor's arms, turned her back to everyone and shed a tear as big as a bean - His Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem, and she is just a peasant girl... Let Qiuyu indulge in this warm embrace one more time.
At this moment, she only regarded Baili Tang as her husband, even until now, she had not given him any betrothal gift.
"Your Majesty, if one day you no longer like Qiuyu, could you please not banish her to the cold palace? Qiuyu wants to go to the Sinong Temple."
Baili Tang didn't say anything, but just hugged the person... tightly and sighed softly.
The reason why he is helpless is because he can't do anything else except this!!
Drunk!!!
His mind had already sent him three danger warnings! !
When the enemy comes, the general will stop him; when the water comes, the earth will cover it. After a while, Baili Tang fell asleep. Not long after, Liang Qiuyu also fell asleep.
The next day.
Baili Tang was awakened by Liang Qiuyu's scream.
Baili Tang couldn't help but feel delighted. It turned out that this body was not broken after all... I am still a real man! !
The wind and rain outside were still very strong, so no one heard the noise inside, otherwise Eunuch Yang would be the first to rush in to "rescue the emperor".
"Your Majesty, Qiuyu wants to go out and take a look."
"It's so windy and rainy outside, how can it compare to the comfort of my bed?" Well, he was unwilling to let her go. A completely natural, delicate young lady without any makeup... Her small face, the size of a palm, was filled with collagen...
Well...it's mainly because your hands are too fat...full of fat. That's why my face looks small.
"Your Majesty, Qiuyu is worried..."
Baili Tang was also worried. This was in ancient times, and the ability to defend against natural disasters was not strong. However, he did not show it in front of Liang Qiuyu.
Without TV news, Baili Tang had no idea of the extent of the disaster. He could only wait until the wind and rain subsided before sending people to check.
Neither of them felt sleepy, so they got up, washed up, and started to have breakfast.
Outside, Meng Fang, Zhang Dongzheng, and the others were already watching the rain. The wind had died down, but the rain was getting heavier.
Xiyun County alone had harvested 60% of the rice. Even in neighboring Dongyun County, perhaps even 20% hadn't been harvested. Because the distance was too great, it was impossible to send the Royal No. 1 thresher. Without the assistance of thousands of highly skilled soldiers, the harvesting speed was undoubtedly incomparable.
Failure to harvest crops in time is one thing, but this devastating natural disaster will probably cause countless people to be displaced and suffer incalculable casualties.
Meng Fang was born into a family of impoverished generals. His hometown, hundreds of miles north of Xiyun County, had also experienced such extreme weather in summer and autumn. Faced with such natural disasters, no one dared to fight them; the only option was to avoid them.
However, this time, His Majesty not only ordered the rice to be harvested, but also invented the Royal No. 1 thresher, which really changed General Meng Fang's attitude.
Although Meng Fang was born in a humble family, he was a man of great pride. If His Majesty had not appointed him three months ago, he would not have come here. He was determined to recover the lost territory.
Your Majesty, who has been away from the palace for nearly three months, is afraid that if he returns to the palace now, he will encounter someone a hundred times more dangerous than Jia Shidao on the way...
Why Baili Tang left the palace is perhaps only known to the old Baili Tang. Perhaps he was tired of living?
And the Kingdom of Jing did not fall into chaos because of this. What does this mean?
Without a tyrant ruler, we ordinary people will only live a better life.
The ministers who accompanied him were all aware of this matter. They neither tried to dissuade nor stop him along the way, which was truly a wise move to protect themselves.
"General Meng, are you worried?" asked Lord Wang.
Meng Fang sighed heavily. "I'll ask His Majesty for instructions later. I'll prepare the rafts first. Once the rain stops, I'll go out and rescue people."
"Who will protect your majesty's safety?"
"Don't worry, Lord Wang. I will only lead a few hundred elite soldiers to rescue them."
"It's just a fear, it won't help."
Everyone is worried!
Xiyun County, a hundred miles to the west.
"Dad, can you please have Man'er send people to rescue the villagers? In Dongyun County, many towns have been engulfed by the flood. Some villagers have retreated to the mountains, while others were swept away by the flood before they could retreat."
