Chapter 164 The Arriving Flash Flood As Scheduled

Yunchu and Yu Xiurong didn't even kiss each other, how could they be pregnant and have a baby? If they really had a baby, Yunchu should ask carefully.

Calculated that Yu Xiurong is half a year older than Yunchu, the 17-year-old girls in Guanzhong seem to develop earlier than girls in other places, so Yu Xiurong has grown up and slim, unlike Naha, who only grows tall. Can't tell the difference between the front and the back.

Although he didn't have Gongsun's body that could explode at any time, in Yunchu's opinion, it was more than enough for him.

The last time I saw Yu Xiurong winking at Hanchun, with an apple-like face, I couldn't help sneaking a kiss on the cheek. If it wasn't for my skill, I would have suffered a broken leg in the crotch.

For this reason, Yu Xiurong did not come to Yun's house for a whole month.

The Yun family offered the dowry to Mrs. Yu under the circumstances of the three matchmakers and six witnesses. The dowry was not many, except for the wild geese and other dowry as agreed by the custom, there were only four things that could be given, but this was it. The four betrothal gifts have already made many unmarried women in Chang'an weep secretly.

A mare with blue and white flowers was said to have been drawn from the stable of King Huihe, and there was a wolf head pattern of King Huihe on the horse's buttocks.

A white jade Maitreya Buddha statue is said to be a dowry gift from Yunchu's sister. This mutton fat jade Buddha statue was carved by the most famous jade carving craftsman in Chang'an, "Han Eight Swords", which took half a year to complete.

Neither the raw material of jade nor the carving of the "Eight Swords of Han Dynasty" is the preciousness of this future Maitreya Buddha. The most precious thing is that the blessing of Master Xuanzang made this Jade Buddha one of the eight betrothal gifts. The most honorable existence.

As for the thousand taels of gold and the paper shop with more than a hundred craftsmen, it is not worth mentioning.

Even if An Ruyu repaired her face, after seeing these betrothal gifts, she pulled her back to Yun's house on the spot.

It's not that she doesn't accept it, but that she doesn't dare to put these things at home. After all the calculations, only the Yun's house in Jinchangfang is the safest.

There are already countless rogues who have killed burglars in Jinchangfang these years, especially the snitches who can jump over the wall and escape from house to house. They often disappear after entering Jinchangfang.

Then, those big thieves who hide the snitches into the city and sit on the ground to share the spoils will soon be unlucky. Zhang Jia has been a bad person for the past two years, and he has earned a lot of money just by catching the big thieves. His bravery is even more famous the capital.

Every May, Chang'an will usher in a heavy rain.

As long as the storm is about to come, Jinchangfang will face the enemy, clear the silt ditches, straighten the waterways, drain all the water in the ponds, open the sluices to block the Karez wells, and close all the wells to prevent rainwater and sewage Pollution of water sources, and Yunchu personally led a team to inspect every house, as long as there were dangerous houses, dangerous walls, etc., they would be destroyed first, without leaving any hidden dangers.

Store a large amount of coal and firewood, and arrange a large amount of lime and charcoal in granaries and warehouses to prevent moisture.

Prepare gastrointestinal medicine, wind-cold medicine, and skin medicine just in case.

The reason why he prepared this thing was a lesson learned from blood. Yunchu still dare not recall what he looked like when he encountered the first heavy rain in Chang'an.

It's like a leak at the bottom of the Tianhe River, and the water just splashes down like that.The originally dry Jinchangfang became Zeguo within half an hour.

There is water everywhere and debris floating everywhere. Within a day of the newly formed Jinchang Fang, 67 houses collapsed, the walls of the Fang collapsed in six places, and nine people were crushed under the collapsed houses. Waiting for a month and a half When it was finally cleaned up, the people had already turned into white bones under the action of water and high temperature.

Therefore, Yunchu put in a lot of effort this year to prepare for disaster prevention and relief. He also specially set up a disaster relief team. Whenever there is a danger, he will go there. Basically, it is foolproof.

In the afternoon, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the earth darkened in an instant.

At the same time, the thunderstorms in the sky became more and more intense, and the people of Jinchangfang who had been waiting for the rainstorm for a long time were gearing up and preparing to fight the coming rainstorm with the most complete preparations.

An hour later, dark clouds billowed, as if a monster was coming, and gusts of wind blew the big windmill with its blades removed, creaking, as if it would fall over at any moment.

Another hour later, golden snakes danced wildly in the sky, and lightning flashed one after another, encrusting the dark clouds with golden borders one after another.

Another hour later, raindrops the size of soybeans poured down the sky and covered the sky. All the strong men in Jinchangfang were mobilized to inspect every important place in Jinchangfang. Even pregnant women and babies were placed in the ground by Yunchu. Higher home.

Two quarters of an hour later, looking at the clear sky, Yun Chu felt an urge to scold her.

In the same way, the villagers who had already prepared to fight tough battles followed their parents and looked at the bright white sun in the sky in a daze.

"Chief, do we still need to put the whole square on alert?"

Fangzheng Liu Yi was wearing a thick coir raincoat, holding a shovel in his hand, and carefully asked the head of the village who seemed to have a very bad temper.

Everyone is disappointed. '

If there is no preparation and the rainstorm does not come, the villagers will just feel like they are being pardoned, thinking that they are very lucky to be taken care of by God.

If you are not well prepared, then you will not be disappointed, you will only feel that you don't have to toss.

Now, in order to guard against this storm, Yunchu has armed the villagers to the teeth, waiting to fight against the storm, and finally win the battle.

Now, the torrential rain of this dog day is full of bullying and fearful people. They actually did enough foreplay, and finally washed the streets of Jinchangfang with a little rainwater, and then they did nothing.

What a disappointment.

"Wah-wah--" A burst of rapid crying from a baby woke everyone up. Yun Chu looked back dully, only to see a midwife shouting to a man beamingly: "Hesheng, Hesheng, your mother-in-law gave birth, here you go!" A baby with a handle was born, and the mother and child are safe."

The strong man named Hesheng howled and rushed into the gate of the Yun family as if he had never had a child before.

Yunchu looked desperately at Chang'an City, where there was not a single cloud and no wind, and said to Liu Yi weakly, "Just do what you have to do. It seems that the rain won't come down."

Liu Yidao: "If that's the case, aren't we preparing for nothing, rehearsing for nothing, and wasting so much time for nothing. The big cafeteria has been closed for two days because of this. How much money is lost."

Yun Chu roared angrily: "Come on, open the Karez well for me, block the canal downstream of Liu Yi's house, pour all the water into Liu Yi's house, and let's go to his house to fight the flood..."

Liu Yi ran away, he knew that if he said a few more words, the village chief might really take people to his house to fight the flood and rescue the disaster.

"It's not auspicious for other women to have children in our house." Mrs. Cui sat under the eaves and led a group of fat people to pick cotton.

"Why don't you all want to give birth? If you can give birth, there should be many little servants and maids running around in our yard."

Cui said with a smile: "Lang Jun speaks out of anger."

Furious, Yun Chu returned to the study, opened the calendar again and looked at the third day of May. He remembered it clearly when he was traveling in Shaanxi. The tour guide said that in the fifth year of Yonghui, the third day of May, when Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were sleeping They were almost swept away by the flash flood, but fortunately Xue Rengui yelled that the flash flood was coming, so that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian escaped unharmed... Could it be that the tour guide is talking nonsense?

Since the mountain torrents could almost wash away the emperor, God knows what the city of Chang'an would be like. If it weren't for this memory, why would Yunchu go to such great lengths to practice disaster relief in Jinchangfang?
Even though the heavy rain the year before last did a lot of harm to Jinchangfang, but because of that heavy rain, all the dilapidated houses and walls in Jinchangfang were disposed of, and they were not afraid of ordinary rain at all.

Yunchu entered the Daci'en Temple without Xuanzang, climbed up the tall Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and looked at the imperial city in the golden sunset.

The golden sun shone on the imperial city, illuminating the inner city brightly, and the green grass on Longshouyuan in the distance made the city beautiful like a picture scroll.

Why doesn't it rain?
You must know what Li Ji said, Xue Rengui, the leader of the right army Zhonglang among the three people, needs the credit for this rescue very, very much now.

It is also necessary for Li Zhi to see that only the military supports him, and only the military will take his life seriously.

Why doesn't it rain?

Yunchu stood on the tall Big Wild Goose Pagoda Mountain, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Before dawn, Yunchu opened the window to look out, but it was still not raining, and the sky was unbelievably clear. It looked like today would be another hot and boring day.

After breakfast, Yunchu rode a bay red horse to the construction site of Guangfufang.

At this time, there are brigades of ox carts, horse carts, and donkey carts transporting the construction waste of Guangfu Square outside the city.

Pei Xingjian came earlier than Yunchu. When Yunchu came to the door of the young man's house and began to ask for mustard pancakes, Pei Xingjian came over and took one of the mustache pancakes. House, can you really make a profit from it?
I mean, under the premise of building brick and tile houses for the villagers, do you really think it is a profitable thing to take half of the people's land? "

Yun Chu bit his mustache and said, "I bought not only a piece of land, but also the dense crowd around it, and the living environment that has been in business for many years, not to mention that it is close to Suzaku Street. Do you think a house here is worth the price?" How much?"

Pei Xingjian thought for a while and said, "A house with an area of ​​one mu is worth two hundred guan!"

Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "People in Chang'an don't plant land in their yards, and most people don't need a garden. Half an acre of land can build a very good two-story house."

"The price of bricks and tiles is not low, plus the shipping price..."

"Because there is no land price, I contracted the construction team here for a total price of 57 yuan to build the house like the one I drew on the blueprint. Materials, large and small, were also contracted to suppliers in the West Market.

It was also agreed that they would be paid for materials and wages after the house was completed. "

Pei Xingjian looked at the blueprint that Yunchu brought, and Yunchu noticed his legs began to shake involuntarily.

After a long while, Pei Xingjian asked with difficulty: "You won't have started selling the houses that haven't been built yet, have you?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "If I don't sell the house, how can I have the money to pay suppliers, large and small, and the contractor team for materials and wages?"

Pei Xingjian's trembling legs began to spread, and his legs gradually turned into arms and hands. His trembling hands rattled the blueprint drawn by Yun Chu.

"That is to say, you didn't spend a penny, just opened your mouth, and then built a long street that suffered from Zhu Rong, and left yourself a huge inn, and a huge dining hall?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Not only that, after paying the materials and wages, and giving them the houses promised to the villagers, there should be [-] houses left for me.

If you want it, I can sell it to you at the original price of two hundred strings. "

Pei Xingjian couldn't stop the shaking of his body, and sprayed three words from his throat: "Why?"

Yun Chu said leisurely: "Just because of my reputation of giving millions of gold to orphans and widows without proof, people are willing to listen to me and believe that I will give them money after they finish their work and pay their bills." .”

Pei Xingjian was about to speak, but saw a horse running over frantically and handed a document to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian inspected the wax paint, opened the document and glanced at it, and said to Yunchu in surprise, "I received a letter from the flying pigeon of Jiucheng Palace, Your Majesty encountered a mountain torrent in Jiucheng Palace last night!"

Hearing what Pei Xingjian said, Yunchu felt his nose sour. The damned torrent finally arrived as scheduled. The beautiful tour guide did not lie, but he remembered wrongly. The torrent was in Jiucheng Palace, not Chang'an.
