Chapter 209 209: The Rainstorm Comes

Nanli walked in step by step, with brisk steps.

Ye Siheng went up to meet her, and saw bead-sized beads of sweat on her forehead, her little face was flushed from the sun, "Why are you here on such a hot day?"

"There will be a heavy rain in a few days, I want to tell you, you need to prepare early." Nan Li said.

Ye Siheng was startled.

The same is true of Prime Minister Lu.

"The Ninth Concubine's words are so strange. It rains when it rains. What are you prepared for?" The cabinet minister who spoke was surnamed Zhang.

This Zhang Ge is not very old, and he was also a champion.

He is a stubborn scholar, and in his heart he looks down on Nanli and other fairy aunts and Taoists who play tricks.

So what he said at the moment seemed a little mean.

Ye Siheng held Nan Li in his palm on weekdays, and he was reluctant to say a harsh word to her, but when he suddenly heard the sarcasm in Zhang Ge's old words, his eyes were filled with chills.

"If Mr. Zhang Ge can't speak, there's no need to keep his tongue." Ye Siheng said coldly.

Elder Zhang Ge was furious when he heard the words: "The Ninth Prince is so powerful, I just asked, how can the Ninth Prince protect his wife to this extent?"

Lu Chenglian hurriedly smoothed things over: "Mr. Zhang Ge, please be safe and don't be impatient. The prince and the princess are newly married, so the prince is naturally a princess everywhere."

"That must be reasonable." Zhang Gelao said, "It's just raining, and the Ninth Princess doesn't need to come to tell you, Si Tiantai has already played."

He looked contemptuously at Nanli.

That clearly means that you are not the only one who knows how to observe the sky in this Mu country and this capital.

Nan Li was not angry, and said: "Did Si Tiantai say, when will this rain last?"

"This..." Zhang Ge was speechless for a moment.

Because Si Tiantai's excerpt did not say anything at all, only that there will be a heavy rain in the near future.

Nan Li was not surprised, and continued: "This rain lasted for at least half a month, so I came here in a hurry, and asked the prince and everyone to discuss a countermeasure quickly."

"Half a month is half a month, what countermeasures should we discuss?" Elder Zhang Ge asked again.

Although his words were harsh, they were what the cabinet ministers wanted to ask.

"If it's a continuous drizzle, naturally you don't have to worry too much about it, but this rain is a heavy rain. Everyone can think about what will happen for the next half month." Nan Li said seriously.

Ye Siheng's complexion changed.

The last time Rong Zhiyun sent people to buy Yangshou in the slums, they mentioned the hidden dangers of the slums.

The houses there were built randomly, and the terrain was the lowest in all of Kyoto. Not to mention the heavy rain for half a month, even if it rained for three days, the houses of the poor people would not be able to hold up.

He immediately ordered someone to bring a map of Kyoto, pointing out the locations where the houses might collapse one by one.

Then he asked the Ministry of Works how the canals were adjusted.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said: "Since the order of the prince, the Ministry of Industry has rushed to work, and all the blockages have been dredged, but the new canal is still under construction, and there is at least half a month's construction period."

Although Zhang Ge is old and stubborn, he also admires people who are dedicated to serving the country and the people with real skills.

He remembered the last time there was a heavy rain in Kyoto, the slums were flooded in less than a day because of the low terrain, many people were homeless, and there were countless casualties.

His face suddenly turned embarrassing, and his tone softened a lot respectfully: "My lord is really planning for a rainy day."

"But if the torrential rain continues for the next half month and the water doesn't drain out, half of the capital will be flooded." Ye Siheng's expression darkened.

Prime Minister Lu hesitated for a moment before asking: "Ninth Princess, this rainstorm... will it really last for half a month?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Nan Li, waiting for her answer.

Ye Siheng held Nan Li's hand tightly, and wanted to tell her that if she was not sure, she could not answer, or give an ambiguous answer.

If there is a discrepancy, then the cabinet will make her unable to lift her head with a mouthful of saliva.

But Nanli's eyes were clear, she nodded: "That's right."

She believed in her ability and was sure that her hexagrams would not go wrong.

Ye Siheng took a deep look at her, then increased his strength with his right hand, and said, "Okay, then we will deploy according to half a month."

Many cabinet ministers were still skeptical, but Ye Siheng said so, so they naturally had to obey orders.

After all, if anything goes wrong then, they won't be the ones to take the blame.

First, the Ministry of Industry needs to send additional manpower to work day and night to dig the canals one by one.

Then prepare sandbags for flooding.

As for places with low terrain, they must be ready to transfer people at any time.

……

The tasks were assigned one by one, and the cabinet was kept alive all night.

Nanli can't intervene much in the affairs of the court, but she is not idle either.

The Qian family and Chu Shuo run many inns, which can be used to accommodate the homeless people at that time.

When the sixth younger sister spoke, Chu Shuo was obliged to do so, and agreed immediately.

As for the Qian family, they have also received Nanli's kindness, and they readily agreed.

Not only that, the Qian family also prepared orders to go down, and prepared food and herbs in case of emergencies.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it seemed to be melting the ground. When the whole city was full of complaints, it began to rain heavily that afternoon.

Immediately, the rain was ferocious, crashing down, and the entire Kyoto was shrouded in heavy rain.

The people in the slums are most afraid of rain, because in the next half a day, their muddy roads will be flooded.

Sure enough, after only half a day, the rain reached their calves.

The sky was dark, and now the people from the government wanted them to move.

The poor are naturally unwilling, and they still have to guard their houses to prevent the rain from breaking them.

Nan Li took the lead.

She was wearing a coir raincoat and a hat, but the rain was so heavy that her body was already soaked, and the rain dripped down her face.

She said loudly: "This rain will last for a long time. Your house is not strong enough, and you will definitely be washed away. Pack up your things quickly and move to a higher place. I have prepared a place for everyone to stay."

The poor looked at each other.

Someone didn't believe it, and stepped forward and said: "You are not a god, how do you know that this rain lasted for a long time? It rains at this time in previous years, and it only lasts for a day or two."

They didn't bother to pack up and move things.

As soon as this person said it, he got the support of many people.

Another man said: "How can the imperial court be so kind? They have long wanted to drive us poor people away. They must have taken the opportunity to demolish our houses and make us homeless, so they will leave the capital. "

In the eyes of some dignitaries and dignitaries, these poor people are just in the way.

"That's right! We won't leave!" The poor raised their hands and shouted.

Nan Li frowned seeing the turbulent crowd.

Qing Feng was at the side, holding the hilt of his sword tightly, fearing that the poor would rush up and hurt others.

He whispered: "Princess, life and death are determined by fate and wealth. These poor people will not listen to persuasion, why not let it go?" 209: The rainstorm is coming
