Datang romantic little landlord

I didn't expect this flood to be so serious!

Under the rule of Xuzhou, there are 110 households, nine counties, and [-] seven villages...

Li Wangyou felt his scalp go numb when he thought of these numbers.

"Hurry up, let's go to Xuzhou!"

830 After the Great Disaster

Li Wangyou didn't dare to stay in Zhengzhou any longer, after hearing that Xuzhou really broke the embankment yesterday, he prepared to leave immediately.

However, he was about to board the ship, but stopped again, turned around and gave instructions to the governor of Zhengzhou.

"Inspector Hu, how much grain is there in Zhengzhou?"

"Back to Lord Hou, there is not much grain in Zhengzhou, but Lord Hou doesn't need to worry about food. In the Changping warehouse in Luoyang, there is a large amount of grain stored in case of emergencies. Lord Hou can order, from the Changping warehouse in Luoyang Transport food to Xuzhou."

The governor of Zhengzhou is also a fine person, and immediately understood the meaning of Li Wangyou's words, and quickly replied.

He didn't lie about what he said. Datang set up Changping warehouses in Luo, Xiang, You, Xu, Qi, Bing, Qin, and Puzhou to store a large amount of corn.

These grain reserves are, firstly, to stabilize grain prices and prevent low grain prices from hurting farmers, and secondly, to prevent bad harvests in bad years.

For example, in the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, the governments of all places relied on the grain in the Changping warehouse to relieve the victims.

The second is to deal with major national events, such as military expeditions or major construction projects.

Luoyang is not far from Zhengzhou, but it is more than 200 miles away, and it can be transported in a four-wheeled carriage in one day.

Li Wangyou ordered people to summon the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on board, and after questioning them, he confirmed this point, and he was a little relieved.

With the grain in the Changping warehouse in Luoyang, and he ordered the enemies to start transporting grain to Zhengzhou, it shouldn't be a big problem to think about the grain.

In his thinking, for such a catastrophe, as long as there is enough food to ensure the survival of the victims, there will be no troubles.

Li Wangyou ordered the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to leave a few people behind and ordered them to set off immediately to Changping warehouse in Luoyang, preparing to transfer grain to Zhengzhou, and then transport it to Xuzhou through Tongji Canal.

He hurriedly boarded the ship and led the fleet towards Xuzhou.

Zhengzhou is also more than 200 miles away from Xuzhou, and it can be reached by boat in three or four hours down the river.

When the fleet sailed into the territory of Xuzhou, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them.

Their fleet originally sailed along the Tongji Canal.

Tongji Canal is an artificial canal dug by Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, by more than one million men and women in various counties in Henan.

Because the dragon boat of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was to be used, the canal was dug very deep, with a width of forty steps, which is about 60 meters, which can be considered very wide.

But when the fleet entered the territory of Xuzhou, the people could hardly tell where was the river and where was the land. As far as the eye could see, it was almost a vast ocean...

Although the Tongji Canal did not break through, the outside of the channel was completely submerged by the flood, and it even overflowed the embankment of the Tongji Canal and poured back into the canal.

On both sides of the river bank, you can vaguely see distant villages, and at this time only some ruins remain.The corpses of cattle, sheep and pigs floated in the filthy water, and even the corpses of people who were drowned by the flood could be seen floating in it from time to time.

Once in the distance, on the trees and roofs, there were still many people taking refuge there. After seeing the fleet, they shouted for help, it was very miserable.

Li Wangyou didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered the fleet to put down the boat and let the imperial army go to rescue people.

Fortunately, because Li Wangyou and the others had a large number of people, with more than a thousand imperial guards guarding them, when they set off from Fenglingdu, they collected a lot of ships.

After the governor of Zhengzhou learned of the flood in Xuzhou, he also arranged for a boat to accompany them, but there was a place to house the rescued victims.

Li Wangyou sent an order to immediately transport the rescued victims back to Zhengzhou for resettlement, while he continued to lead the fleet towards Changshe County, Xuzhou Prefecture.

Because Li Wangyou's fleet was constantly rescuing victims on both sides of the Tongji Canal, when the fleet arrived at Changshe County, it was already evening.

Looking from a distance, half of the city wall of Changshe County has been soaked in the flood.Obviously, the state capital of Xuzhou was also besieged by floods. I am afraid that the tens of thousands of people in the city are also in danger.

Li Wangyou originally wanted to change boats immediately and go to Changshe County, but was persuaded by everyone.

At this time, it was already dusk and the situation in the city was unclear, so it was better not to enter the city rashly to avoid accidents.

Li Wangyou thought about it, and thought that there was no lighting facility at night, and his fleet did not carry food for rescue, so it was indeed wrong to enter Changshe County so recklessly, so he did not persist.

However, he still ordered the imperial army to send troops to Changshe County by boat to inquire about the news.If possible, find the governor of Xuzhou and the officials of Changshe County and bring them back so that he can ask about the situation.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Wangyou couldn't help but heave a long sigh as he watched dozens of forbidden soldiers rowing the boat slowly towards the county town not far away.

In this era, human life is too fragile in the face of catastrophe.

And he always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, but he didn't think of it for the time being.

At this time, Su Changqing came to his side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looked at the county wall that was submerged in the flood, and suddenly said, "Wangyou, there is something, I think you should make plans early."

"What?" Li Wangyou didn't understand what the beautiful boss said.

Su Changqing pushed back the hair that was blown messy in front of his forehead, and said leisurely: "Could it be that you have forgotten that after the great disasters of ancient times, there must be great epidemics."

The words of the beautiful boss suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt, and it exploded in Li Wangyou's ears, causing his body to shake involuntarily.

Sure enough, he always felt that he had forgotten something!

epidemic!

Since ancient times in China, due to poor sanitary conditions, it has almost become a law that after a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic.

Especially after the flood, the corpses of domestic animals and people were soaked in the flood. It is certain that the virus is overflowing in the water at this time.If it has not been treated, it is no wonder that humans and animals do not get sick after drinking these polluted water sources.

Moreover, because of poor medical conditions and lack of experience in preventing epidemics, once an epidemic breaks out, even those officials and doctors are also prone to getting sick and dying.

Li Wangyou thought that if Xuzhou was followed by floods and an epidemic broke out, the scene would be too terrifying.

Thinking of the scene of the epidemic raging, white sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

At this time, I saw a boatman at the bow of the boat, who tied a bucket with a rope, put it into the river, lifted a bucket of clear water, and prepared to take it into his mouth.

Li Wangyou rushed over immediately, and kicked the boatman who was about to drink raw water. He staggered, and the water he picked up in his hand was scattered everywhere.

The boatman was stunned by the kick, but he didn't understand what he had done wrong, which made the nobleman furious.

He didn't dare to argue, and quickly knelt down, pleading guilty again and again.

Li Wangyou ignored the boatman and directly recruited Niu Wu.

"Niu Wu, pass down the order. No one in the fleet is allowed to drink raw water. It must be boiled before drinking. Every day, everyone should wash their hands at least three times with saponins. If there is any violation, the Marquis will No mercy!"
