She only wants to do infrastructure construction

After Li Yewu finished giving his orders, Patriarch Liu, who had been living in Shang Wang's Mansion before lying down, appeared.

Seeing the appearance of Patriarch Liu, everyone was still a little vigilant.

The head of the Liu family quickly explained: "Don't be nervous, everyone, I have already heard about the things outside, I just want to do my best."

"?" Everyone was puzzled.

The owner of the Liu family replied with some embarrassment: "It's raining and flooding outside. The victims must be cold and hungry. I have a batch of cotton cloth in my cloth shop. If the princess doesn't mind it, I'm willing to donate it to the victims for emergency."

"!"

Everyone was surprised.

For a merchant, it is very rare for him to make a profit, let alone let him take out all the cotton cloth in a warehouse impermanently.

But at this moment, Patriarch Liu's eyes were determined: "My lord and concubine saved my life, and now it's just to share a little bit of worry for my lord and concubine. Don't refuse me, my lord."

Li Yewu and Master Liu looked at each other for a while, and then nodded after confirming that he really wanted to help, rather than being forced by the environment to bleed profusely.

"In that case, I will accept Patriarch Liu's kindness for the prince."

When the head of the Liu family heard Li Yewu let go, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then enthusiastically took out the matching seal on his waist and handed it to the old housekeeper: "This is the seal of my cloth shop. They will open the warehouse when they see it."

The old butler quickly took the seal.

One must know that Patriarch Liu is one of the four emerging families in Taihe City, and also one of the master's creditors. Usually Patriarch Liu comes here to ask for debts, so it is rare for him to give his seal to himself.

After Patriarch Liu stepped down, Li Yewu sent Er Tao to do the job again.

Until this time, Li Yewu was finally not so nervous, and slowly leaned against the imperial concubine's couch for a while.

……

The torrential rain lasted until after six o'clock in the morning, and finally it seemed to be getting smaller.

Li Yewu watched the sky getting brighter and the rain getting lighter, so she put on her coir raincoat and went outside.

At this moment, the old butler also knew that he couldn't persuade the princess.

To be honest, he was quite worried about what was going on outside, so when the princess strongly asked to go out for inspections, the old butler acquiesced.

At any rate, it was dawn, and it was very rare to be able to keep the princess until dawn, so I didn't ask for anything else.

Just like that, all members of Shang Palace were dispatched.

But before we even reached the western suburbs, we could already hear the voices of people here.

Li Yewu opened the curtain of the carriage and saw a touching scene.

At this time, most of the refugees had been transferred back to the city, and the refugee camps took the initiative to make room for these victims.

They are like the masters, those who boil hot water, cook porridge, and cook ginger soup are constantly busy.

The clothes of Liu Jiazhu's cloth shop are also being transported here one after another.

However, there are not so many finished products in the cloth shop, and many women volunteer to help cut clothes.

All in all, the people who were indifferent and soulless before seemed to have recovered at this time, and everyone was united to fight against the flood disaster together.

Seeing that everything in the city was in order, Li Yewu didn't delay any longer and rushed directly to the west of the city.

However, not long after the carriage left the city gate, it couldn't move anymore, and the plain in front of it became a vast ocean, and many people were running in this vast ocean.

Wang Yang was not too deep, it was submerged up to the knees.

However, this area in the western suburbs is a very vast land, and even this area has been flooded to the calf, which shows how serious the farmland is.

Li Yewu originally planned to get out of the car and leave, but the old housekeeper firmly disagreed.

Not to mention that women should pay attention to keeping warm from the cold, just because she is pregnant, she cannot be allowed to soak in the water.

Originally, the old housekeeper wanted to persuade Li Yewu to go back, but seeing the determination in Li Yewu's eyes, he couldn't say anything.

In the end, Erge said: "Since the princess must go to the scene, we will go through all kinds of dangers to send the princess. I am familiar with this road, and I can probably control the safe journey. The princess must be supported in the carriage." , I will protect the princess well."

"Okay, I'm counting on you guys." Li Yewu nodded solemnly.

In this way, the people in the second group carefully escorted the carriage to the western suburbs.

The roads in ancient times were all dirt roads, and when it rained, they were all yellow muddy water, and the road conditions could not be seen at all.

Although Er Ge basically remembers the terrain and road conditions, but it is raining and I am not sure if there will be a pit or subsidence ahead. Just in case, there are two people exploring the road ahead, groping forward little by little, while the carriage is cautious. followed behind.

In this way, I came to Rizhao Village ten miles away.

The situation in Rizhao Village is relatively better. The houses are located on a relatively high terrain, and the roots of the walls have been soaked. For newly built houses, this amount of water is not too much of a threat.

The seedlings in the field were miserable, they managed to grow to the height of the calf, and they were all toppled to the ground by such a wash, and they were all in pieces.

Although rice grows in water, excess water will speed up their death.

But at this time, no one had time to care about the rice. Except for a few people who were dredging the rice ditches, most of them were busy consolidating the river bottom.

Speaking of this, when Li Yewu planned the farmland, he planned a lot of drainage ditches in advance. At that time, it was mainly used to prevent drought. After all, the ancient farmland water diversion technology was not so developed and scientific, so Li Yewu specially developed He did a lot of work.

Unexpectedly, before the water diversion function was used, it was used for flood discharge first.

Thanks to these drainage ditches, a large part of the water washed down by the embankment has been drained out, otherwise the water level here will be even higher.

The flood came suddenly last night, and the people who were worried about the rice fields being flooded immediately discovered the surging flood.

They immediately moved the women and children to the second floor of the house, and the adults went to the rice fields to dig the canals.

However, everyone still underestimated the intensity of the flood, and in addition to the water, there was also a lot of silt and dead grass washed down by the burst of the Chu River. Soon the canal they took out was blocked by the silt again.

The water couldn't flow out, and the water level suddenly rose again.

However, there are [-] mu of land here, and the young and middle-aged people in the whole village are dispatched, and it is too late to dredge so many canals.

Seeing that this place was about to be lost, the village chiefs of Rizhao Village and Yuehua Village made a decisive decision and asked the whole village to evacuate, and at the same time sent someone to report to the prince and concubine.

Just like that, everyone ran back in embarrassment.

Some people were almost blown away on the road.

Fortunately, King Shang's mansion responded quickly, and King Shang came out wearing a coir raincoat with his entourage.

When he came to the western suburbs, the western suburbs were still very chaotic.

No way, the 2 people who returned to the city to seek refuge were all frightened, and at the same time worried that their homes would be destroyed and their fields would be flooded. Everyone was nervous and sensitive, fearful and restless.

Just in this mess, Xiao Jiuxi appeared.

Seeing him is no less than seeing the savior, the people of Liushen Wuzhu all rushed towards him, shouting for help.
