Datang romantic little landlord

Fortunately, due to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, when repairing houses, they were raised about a foot to avoid moisture.Later generations of Japanese architecture also learned from this point, and raised the floor to prevent moisture.

Therefore, although there is a lot of water in the yard, there is no need to worry about rainwater flooding into the house.

"It should be all right?" Li Wangyou was also a little uncertain, but this rain made him always feel that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Another thunderclap sounded in the sky, but it made Li Wangyou shudder suddenly, and a passage from "Book of Tang" appeared in his mind.

"In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the three prefectures of Xu, Dai, and Ji were flooded."

Daizhou and Jizhou, one in Shandong and one in Sichuan, have nothing to do with him, but Xuzhou is not far away...

Could it be that the flood in Xuzhou is related to today's torrential rain?

The more Li Wangyou thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible that the flood in Xuzhou might be caused by heavy rain.

Xuzhou is Shangzhou, with 20 households and more than [-] people.

Once there is a flood in Xuzhou, I am afraid that many places in Henan Province will suffer.

Thinking of this, Li Wangyou almost called out to Niu Wu to prepare to return to Chang'an quickly.This matter must be notified to Li Er as soon as possible, so that Chaotang can prepare for disaster relief in Xuzhou.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately closed it again.

At this time, it was midnight, and it was pouring rain outside, no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait for dawn before making plans.

While waiting so anxiously, the sky finally lightened up slowly, but the rain still didn't stop, instead it tended to fall more and more.

Li Wangyou didn't care about that much anymore, he got up and said: "Niu Wu, prepare the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, let's go back to the ferry..."

Li Wangyou's words stunned everyone.

Wei Shuyu asked puzzledly, "Ziyou, there is such a heavy rain outside, why do you want to go back in such a hurry? I'm afraid the boats at Fenglingdu Ferry will not dare to set sail today, right?"

Fang Yiai also persuaded: "That's the reason, I should wait in no hurry, it's better to wait until the rain stops before making plans."

It's hard for Li Wangyou to explain this matter, could it be said that he foresaw the flood in Xuzhou?

Regarding the persuasion of the dandies, Li Wangyou could only vaguely say: "I'd better go to the ferry to have a look. To tell you the truth, my eyelids have been twitching today, and my heart is flustered. I always feel that something big is about to happen, so I can do it as soon as possible." It’s better to leave sooner than later.”

Seeing what he said, the dudes looked at each other, but did not continue to persuade.

If the evil nature under the rain can go back, there is nothing wrong with it.

The heavy rain kept pouring down, and Li Wangyou was afraid that Li Chengqian and Li Tai would get sick, so he simply asked the innkeeper to find some carriages for them, and everyone got into the carriages to shelter from the rain, and headed towards the ferry.

At the ferry, the boat that took them across the Yellow River yesterday was naturally still waiting at the pier, but the boss of the boat shook his head quickly when he heard that he was going to cross the river.

"My lord, if you don't obey your orders, you can't cross the river today. You look at the river, not to mention the turbulent water, and you can't see the situation in the river clearly. Crossing the river under such conditions is really too dangerous."

Li Wangyou stood under the oil-paper umbrella, looking at the Yellow River, but he could only helplessly admit that what the boat boss said was not wrong.

In the heavy rain, the Yellow River was filled with mist, not to mention seeing the opposite bank clearly, as far as the eyes could see, it was only one or two feet away.

Moreover, the water flow in the Yellow River is much faster than yesterday.

Originally, between Fenglingdu and Tongguan, the river was wide and gentle, so this place was selected as a ferry port.

But now the water of the Yellow River is roaring after a night of heavy rain, and there is not a single boat in sight on the river.

The torrential rain that started last night showed no sign of stopping, but intensified instead.

The torrential rain was mixed with strong winds, which caused the Yellow River to roll up waves several feet high, constantly scouring the river bank.

The boats on the pier, even though they had been fastened and fixed, were still swaying.

What worried Li Wangyou even more was that after a night of heavy rain, even outsiders like them could clearly see that the water level of the Yellow River had risen a lot.

"Is there any other way to cross the Yellow River?" Li Wangyou continued to ask.

Now they are trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River. If they want to return to Huayin County or Chang'an, they must cross the Yellow River.For thousands of years, there have been no bridges on the Yellow River, and the only way to cross the river is by boat.

The boss of the boat opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly: "My lord, if you want to cross the Yellow River in this kind of weather, you have to put your head on your waist, and you are close to death! Who is so daring to die?"

The dandies also persuaded: "Ziyou, don't take any risks. I'll go back to the hotel first, maybe the rain will stop soon."

Li Wangyou nodded, and signaled to the dudes to guard Li Chengqian and Li Tai to go back first, and he went to call Niu Wu.

"Niu Wu, you take Fuzhong Buqu and go to the boat bosses at this ferry to see who is willing to cross the Yellow River and deliver a letter to Tongguan on the opposite side. Tell them, whoever helps me deliver the letter to the opposite side, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold .”

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, but a hundred taels of gold is not a small amount.

Six hundred copper coins are enough for these boat bosses who live on the Yellow River to earn for many years. Li Wangyou does not believe that no one is tempted.

The facts were just as he expected, with enough money to stimulate, Niu Wu soon brought in two boat bosses who had been making a living on the Yellow River for a long time.

Li Wangyou was also unambiguous, and immediately asked Niu Wu to fetch 200 taels of gold and distributed them to them on the spot.

He wasn't afraid that these two people would take the money and run away, as long as it wasn't Luo Hui, who was secretly helped by a big boss like Hou Junji behind him, even if these ordinary people took his money and wanted to run away, where would they go?

Li Wangyou found a shop nearby, asked the shopkeeper to borrow a pen and paper, immediately wrote several letters, stamped his own seal, put them into several bamboo tubes, and sealed them with sealing wax.

After doing this, he called the two boat bosses again and handed them a few bamboo tubes.

"These two bamboo tubes, you give to the captain guarding Tongguan. After he has read them, he will deal with the letters in the other bamboo tubes. As long as you send the bamboo tubes to the captain, it will be a great achievement! After this Marquis, you will There is a big reward, understand?"

"No! Dare you die for Master Hou!"

The two captains of the ship now also know that the nobleman who gave the huge reward of one hundred taels of gold is actually a Marquis, so naturally he worked his life even harder.

It is like this to seek wealth and danger, and it is no wonder that these two people dared to put their boats into the water in this kind of weather and take the risk of trying to cross the Yellow River.

Li Wangyou stood on the bank wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and watched the two boat bosses untie the cables of the two wooden boats, and swayed the oars to the other side of the Yellow River. After a short effort, the two wooden boats disappeared in the dense water. In the curtain, there is no trace anymore.

Li Wangyou could only pray secretly in his heart that the two of them could send the letter to the other side safely.

Don't blame him for being ruthless, using a lot of money to attract people to risk their lives for him, it is really impossible to delay this matter.

If Li Er and Chaotang could order disaster relief one day earlier, then more than [-] people in Xuzhou would be able to survive more.

Otherwise, under the heavy rain, Xuzhou would be flooded. With today's conditions, Li Wangyou could imagine what Xuzhou would be like, a hell on earth.

Last night, Li Wangyou ordered someone to find the map and had a rough look at the map of Xuzhou.

Fortunately, Xuzhou does not rely on the Yellow River, which means that the flood in Xuzhou this year did not mean that the Yellow River broke its embankment.

Of course, if the Yellow River bursts its embankment, it will not only be the land of Xuzhou that will be affected.
