After rebirth, I ran wild in the heart of His Highness the Prince

After learning about Xu Shao, Gu Siyuan asked Chang Qing to search nearby villages.

Xu County is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is only a county town, the farthest villages are hundreds of miles apart. If Gu Siyuan's calculation is correct, the villages at the foot of the mountains may have survived.

If the sky is not beautiful and the rain does not stop, sooner or later the flood will spread until Xu County and even the surrounding counties are wiped out.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

Gu Siyuan looked sideways.

On the fifth day, they found Xu Shao in Zhoujia Village. As Gu Siyuan expected, the village on the mountain had indeed survived. Xu Shao came to Zhoujia Village without knowing how.

When Chang Qing found the person, he tirelessly lobbied the people in Zhoujia Village to ask everyone to take refuge in the mountains and not stay at the foot of the mountains any longer.

The sound of dense rain covered up Xu Shao's nearly hoarse warning. His throat hurt when he said it, which earned him ridicule from the onlookers.

"Is this person stupid? What kind of flood disaster are they talking about out of nowhere?"

When Gu Siyuan heard this, he recognized that this was the person he was looking for.

Changqing quickly approached and blocked the ridicule of several people.

"Mr. Xu, my master invites you to talk."

"Who is your master?" Xu Shao didn't know why.

"My master heard that Mr. Xu is proficient in water conservancy and it is related to the people of Xu County. Would you like to come with me?"

……

"Heroes really think alike! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xu Shao looked excited. He had noticed the strange weather more than half a month ago and warned everyone in the village, but no one believed it.

Fortunately, Chollima also met his Bole.

"If the rain doesn't stop, the river will eventually overflow. In Mr. Xu's opinion, what should we do?" Gu Siyuan asked proactively.

Xu Shao's expression also became serious. He had loved observing astronomy since he was a child. Outsiders said that he was a weirdo. He had no other hobbies and did not go to farming. He stayed in the courtyard all day long either looking at the sky or studying ancient books.

For ten years, otherwise, he would not be able to develop his current skills.

Before Gu Siyuan came to Xu County, Xu Shao had been observing for several days and came to the conclusion of the flood. He hurriedly tried to dissuade his fellow villagers, but no one took his words to heart.

"I think we should hide in the mountains."

"Aren't you afraid of landslides? Causing greater casualties?"

Xu Shao shook his head, "His Royal Highness, you don't know something. I went to the mountain specifically to study the soil quality."

"The soil on this mountain is not loess, which becomes turbid when exposed to water, but black soil."

...Xu Shaoyan explained briefly and comprehensively. At the same time, Gu Siyuan also made up his mind. He ordered everyone to move to the mountain.

Xu Shao had already found a place to hide in this mountain to take shelter from the rain. There were several natural caves with huge interiors and an unknown number of years of history.

The villagers have a natural fear of floods. Once they hear the orders of His Royal Highness, how can they dare to disobey them? How can their wealth be more important than their lives?They packed their bags and moved to the mountains.

From that day on, Gu Siyuan led his people to hide in the mountains, and five days passed.

Yesterday, some villagers looked towards the foot of the mountain. The peaceful village had been submerged by floods, and only the vaguely exposed roofs could be seen.

Everyone was so happy that they listened to His Highness the Crown Prince's order and saved a life.

"How much food is left?"

In a corner of the cave, Gu Siyuan asked in a low voice.

It has only been three months since the grain collection began, and there is still no rice harvest in the fields. It is an embarrassing time.

He just saw the villagers breaking even a sweet potato into two pieces and eating them separately. Gu Siyuan saw this and took it to heart.

Chang Qing silently shook her head at her master, with a look of frustration on her face.

They did not bring food to Jiangnan. In the past few days, they had been running around and taking in so many refugees. The food that Gu Siyuan sent people to buy before had also reached the bottom.

"We can still last for two days." Changqing lowered her head, saying that she had to eat less for the past two days. If everyone were allowed to eat more, they would probably run out of food today.

"Where are the people from Jiangnan Mansion?"

Mentioning this, Chang Qing became even more angry. While the victims could only eat rough dry food, sweet potatoes and taro, the fat officials were still instructing their servants to cook white rice.

While the two were talking, the guard shouted, alarming everyone in the cave.

Gu Siyuan rested his thoughts for the moment and walked quickly.

The man's eyes were red and he was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, "Why don't you give us food?! I listened to your advice, but even if you go up the mountain, you won't even have food. Aren't we just starving to death!"

"Bah, how can a low-class refugee like you compare with me! I brought the food myself, what does it have to do with you? You still want to know that you can't steal it."

The official hiding behind the guard was from Jiangnan Mansion. Gu Siyuan couldn't remember his name clearly, but looking at his arrogant behavior, he knew that he was under the command of Magistrate Lin.

"What's the trouble?"

Gu Siyuan stood up with a cold voice, and the man immediately started to complain.

"His Royal Highness, you have to make the decision for me! These unscrupulous people are robbing me, and they also want to murder me!"

As soon as he said this, the man holding a kitchen knife turned red.
