God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1144 Heaven is going to kill me
Pointing outside, the old man stammered, "Master, it's raining heavily, it's raining heavily outside!"

Changsun Chong turned his head and glanced at the heavy rain outside, without any intention of stopping, said angrily: "Of course I know that it is raining heavily outside, you old dog, the heavy rain scared you like this, are you still a man?"

The old man cried: "Young master, the heavy rain has flooded the granary of the eldest grandson's house. Go and have a look!"

boom.

Chang Sun Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he pushed the old man to the ground, turned around and rushed outside.

Most of the other big grain merchants suddenly sobered up.

One by one, they rushed out of Zuixianju quickly, regardless of the heavy rain, and ran towards their granary one after another.

……

When Changsun Chong ran to the granary of Changsun's house in the west of the city, his whole body was already soaked.

A few dog legs behind him were holding umbrellas, but they couldn't catch up with him.

When Chang Sun Chong saw the situation in the granary, he was completely dumbfounded.

The granary of Changsun's family was washed away by the heavy rain, and it has collapsed. Countless grains have been completely wet by the heavy rain.

He turned around, grabbed the old man's collar, and asked in a growl, "What's going on? Why did the good granary collapse? Is there someone playing tricks?"

The old man said: "Young master, you don't know that this granary was in disrepair for a long time, and there was not much grain to store. Later, we bought a lot of grain and filled the granary to the brim. The wall on the west side collapsed, there was too much food, and then it collapsed, and the whole granary collapsed... It's over, it's over!"

Chang Sun Chong yelled: "Call someone immediately to carry the food."

But the old man said: "My lord, it's too late. It has been raining for five full hours. Most of the grain in our granary has been soaked. Now that the roof of the granary has collapsed, all the grain has become soaked grain." .”

Chang Sun Chong shook his head: "No, no, we still have a chance. Hurry up and send people to move the grain to a safe place. When the weather clears, we will dry the grain!"

Immediately, the grain merchants of the eldest grandson's family mobilized their staff and began to rescue grain.

The grain was flooded, not just the eldest grandson's family.

Those big grain merchants who followed Changsun Chong to buy grain in a big way before also encountered the situation that the grain was flooded.

Originally, each granary had limited capacity.

In order to defeat the grain distribution center in Huxian County, everyone sold everything and bought grain in a large amount. The granary couldn't be piled up. Some people simply piled a large amount of grain outside and simply covered it with sackcloth.

If it is ordinary light rain, at most one layer of grain will be damaged.

But this heavy rain, with its strength, didn't stop for five hours, and it continued to rain heavily, even the granary could not withstand it, let alone the grain piled outside.

……

at dusk.

Finally, all the food in the Changsun family's granary has been moved.

The old man came to Changsun Chong and whispered, "My lord, [-]% of the food was washed away by the flood, and the rest of the food was fished out of the water..."

The eldest grandson Chong said with a gloomy face: "Young Master, I know. I have ordered people to keep watch all night. The heavy rain is still falling, and the sky will always be sunny tomorrow. When the time comes, immediately take out all the food and dry it."

"Yes!"

The old man just went out.

But I saw grain merchants walking in with tears in their eyes.

"My grandson, save me!"

"Young master, you can't just ignore death, my family's food has been completely flooded."

They ran in crying one by one.

Chang Sun Chong said distraughtly: "Everyone, there is a heavy rain from the sky. This is a natural disaster. There is nothing I can do... However, after this heavy rain, it should be sunny. At that time, the grain will be dried in the sun, and then sold at a slightly lower price." If we sell it, those pariahs won't be able to eat it anyway, and we can still make money, so the loss this time is nothing."

"Now, that's the only way to go."

Everyone nodded helplessly.

……

Consort House.

heavy rain.

It was rare for everyone to rest.

Ma Zhou said: "Such a torrential rain lasted for seven or eight hours, which is really rare in decades!"

Wang Laowu turned his head and said: "Godfather, although we moved the grain to a safe place in advance this time, the rain was too heavy, and [-]% of the grain was flooded, should we send people to take care of it immediately? Tomorrow morning, after the sky clears, start drying grain immediately to reduce losses?"

Hearing this, Du He shook his head: "Give it up, let Wei Shuwan go to the Hu County Grain Distribution Center early tomorrow morning to collect the flooded grain and send it all to the pig farm to raise pigs."

"Raising pigs? Isn't that too much loss? If these grains are dried in time and sold at a slightly lower price, some people will still buy them." Wang Laowu was puzzled.

Du He looked outside and shook his head: "This rain will not stop tomorrow."

Judging from Du He's common sense, this rain might last for several days, and even if it rained lightly at the end, it would not be sunny.

This is a typical Jiangnan Meiyu.

It's just that Chang'an is located in the northwest, so such a situation can happen unexpectedly.

Although Wang Laowu was puzzled, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to make arrangements.

Ma Zhou asked: "Young Master, you started the arrangement several months in advance. Did you know that there would be such a rain? After this heavy rain, a big grain merchant like Changsun's family was unprepared and hoarded a lot of food. The grain must have suffered heavy losses, and after that, the big grain merchants will definitely be devastated, and those new small grain merchants will be able to gain a firm foothold, the young master is truly the best man in the world!"

Ma Zhou admired him.

Ma Zhou's analysis was also correct.

But Du He smiled wryly and shook his head: "This is God helping us, helping the common people. The plan I prepared has not yet been implemented. According to my prediction, the big grain merchants will not die so soon, but this rain One moment, it's all over."

……

Day two.

Light rain.

Day three.

Light rain.

On the fourth day, it was still the same.

This rain, it's been raining endlessly.

Changan.

In Zuixianju, Chang Sun Chong and others' mentality completely collapsed.

A grain merchant said: "Sir, grandson, we can't wait any longer. It's been four days, and the grain in my warehouse is all moldy. If it lasts for two more days, all the grain will rot. What should I do?"

Chang Sun Chong didn't say a word.

He is also helpless.

Ordinarily, as long as the weather is fine, start drying the grain immediately, and the loss can be minimized.

But luckily now, the rain has been falling non-stop, and there is no intention of sunny weather at all.

"God is going to forget me..."

Chang Sun Chong couldn't help but said.

puff!
A grain merchant who suffered heavy losses vomited blood on the spot.

At this moment, a young man came in and reported: "My lord, there are a group of people outside who want to see you, claiming to be Duke Hu."

Duke Hu?
Duho?

The eldest grandson Chong was furious: "That guy Du He came to see my young master making fun of me, so drive him away."

A grain merchant couldn't help but said: "Master Changsun, let's meet Duke Hu and see what he wants to do. What do you think?"

"yes……"

Grain merchants, stand up one by one.
