At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 47 Torrential rain and flood
"So, Lao Fang, work overtime."

Xu Mu patted Fang Xuanling on the shoulder, and under the escort of the soldiers, he held an umbrella and rushed to the nearby Lord's Mansion building.

Fang Xuanling shivered, the sound of the pattering rain in the dark night, and what the lord said just now came to mind one by one.

After a while, Fang Xuanling returned to the bedroom, whispered a few words, and there were crisp applause from the bedroom.

Soon after, Fang Xuanling walked out of the small western-style building wearing clothes and holding an umbrella.

However, five more finger prints were added to his face.

……

The Lord's Mansion Building.

Fourth floor.

Xu Mu lit three oil lamps.

However, the oil lamps of this era can only provide limited lighting effects on the wrist, and the entire office of the Lord's Mansion is still very dim.

"I don't know when we will be able to produce generators and light bulbs, so that Wanmin City will become a city that never sleeps."

Xu Mu shook his head and fantasized, but a white light flashed outside, interrupting his thoughts.

Then, there was a rumbling thunder.

Light rain has turned into moderate rain, and there is still a tendency to rain heavily.

Not long after, Lao Fang and Lao Yang rushed to the Lord's Mansion building, gathered on the fourth floor, and stood in front of Xu Mu.

The old house was fine, Xu Mu had explained to him, but Yang Guang...was woken up so late for the first time.

Actually let him come to the lord's mansion to work the night shift?

However, Yang Guang still kept his identity in mind and did not dare to explode.

It's just that his eyes are a little displeased, and he just looks straight at Xu Mu.

However, Xu Mu didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, and looked directly at Fang Xuanling: "Old Fang, I'm afraid this rainstorm is really coming. Right now, there are two things that need to be done by you and Lao Yang."

Xu Mu took a deep breath, looked at the increasingly heavy rain outside the window, and continued: "The first thing is that when Wanmin City was built, the terrain was considered and it was built on a high place, but the tens of thousands of people in Wanmin City now The common people are all distributed in the low-lying areas outside the city, and if a flash flood breaks out, tens of thousands of people will bear the brunt of it!"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, his expression became serious.

Although he didn't know why Xu Mu was so sure that there would be heavy rain for half a month, he still stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your subordinates should go outside the city right now, call those people away, and let them take refuge in the city!"

Xu Mu nodded solemnly: "You take ten soldiers there, it's dark and rainy, and the mountain road is slippery, so be careful."

"Don't worry, my lord, tomorrow morning, all the common people will definitely appear in Wanmin City intact!" Fang Xuanling cupped her hands, picked up her umbrella and went downstairs.

After Lao Fang left, Xu Mu looked at Yang Guang.

The Great Sui Dynasty was once a generation of emperors with great talents.

"Old Yang, do you still remember the big prophecies I told you?"

Under the dim light, Yang Guang nodded slightly.

The first thing is the heavy rain in spring.

Second, he died in Jiangdu three months later.

In the third case, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and others rebelled one after another.

To be honest, after being woken up overnight by Xu Mu, he had a vague guess.

But it is dubious.

He is not a ghost believer, never believed in Buddhism, let alone believed in illusory prophecies.

But right now...

It seems that the rainstorm really happened.

In particular, Xu Mu's expression was serious, and it didn't seem fake.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang couldn't help feeling complicated.

During this rainstorm, Xu Mu and Fang Xuanling thought of the people immediately, but he thought of himself.

Could it be... I will really die in Jiangdu in three months?

This question resurfaced in his mind again.

Seeing Yang Guang nodding, Xu Mu stared at him, and asked in a deep voice: "The rainstorm is coming, let me ask you, is the sewer construction of Wanmin City completed?"

This matter is related to the life and death of Wanmin City.

Since Yang Guang took office as the director of the Municipal Planning Department, in addition to the first phase of the residential area project, Xu Mu has assigned him a lot of structural projects for the Wanmin City.

The first is the laying of sewers.

And this will also represent how much Wanmin City can withstand the mountain torrent.

Yang Guang thought for a while and said truthfully: "With the help of cement pipes, the laying was completed a few days ago, and the water in the entire Wanmin City can be led out of the mountain through the sewer."

He has supervised the construction of Daxing and Luoyang, so he naturally knows the importance of drainage.

The first thing to do in the establishment of a new city is to drain water. Luoyang and Daxing, the two big cities, have more complicated underground waterways. Compared with Wanmin City, it is a child's play for him.

Hearing Yang Guang's assurance, Xu Mu's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

Otherwise, with the torrential rain lasting half a month, Wanmin City will definitely be flooded!

The people will suffer heavy casualties.

"Now tens of thousands of people outside the city have all moved into the city. As the director of the Municipal Planning Department, where do you think they will be arranged?" Afterwards, Xu Mu asked a second question.

This question made Yang Guang slightly frown. After pondering for a while, he said: "The first phase of the residential area project has already built the foundation and completed the first floor. It covers a very large area and can accommodate thousands of people, but it has not been capped."

Hearing his suggestion, Xu Mu's eyes lit up, he took out the map of Wanmin City, circled a few points on it, and finally found that Lao Yang's suggestion was the best.

"I'll give you one night. Let the manager call the construction workers to start the construction in the rain all night. As for the stone slabs needed to cap the roof, I will ask the soldiers to bring them to you!"

Afterwards, Xu Mu made a deployment, patted Lao Yang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "If you can save the people from the fire and water this time, you will be the first one!"

Yang Guang's heart trembled, but he didn't say anything, he nodded slightly and left the Lord's Mansion building.

In the past, he always said this to his subordinates...

"Is it the first achievement?"

Yang Guang, who left the Lord's Mansion building, held an umbrella and walked on the dark road of Wanmin City, muttering at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty? The lord summoned His Majesty, but something happened?" While walking, a black figure suddenly appeared on the way, startling Yang Guang.

He almost thought he had encountered robbery.

After hearing the voice of the guardian, he calmed down, and said coldly: "Hurry up and call the folks, and rush to the first phase of the engineering office in the residential area."

Lai Hu'er was full of doubts and seemed a little hesitant: "But now it's past time, and it's still raining heavily..."

"Go quickly!"

Yang Guang shouted in a low voice, revealing the majesty of the emperor, bringing Lai Huer back to reality.

He almost forgot that His Majesty is a murderous master...

In Wanmin City these days, he almost forgot that there were dozens of civil and military ministers killed by His Majesty...

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." In the heavy rain, Lai Huer couldn't help shivering, and hurried to wake up the peasants.

Yang Guang, on the other hand, walked directly towards the first phase of the residential area.

"Save the people? I want to see how many people can be hurt by mere celestial phenomena!"

Along the way, walking in the heavy rain, Yang Guang suddenly felt boundless pride.

This kind of pride has never been seen since he came to the throne.

And if Xu Mu hadn't been caught deep in the mountains, he would never have had this opportunity to get close to the common people who he regarded as numbers in his eyes.

These days, in Wanmin City, he is no longer aloof, he looks at things from a different angle, and gradually understands things that he has never seen before.

The people under his rule were impoverished and displaced.

In the past, his important ministers lied to him, created false appearances, and kept him from seeing it.

And he, even if he knew it was fake, was willing to deceive himself and others, and didn't bother to look at it.

But... Trapped in Wanmin City, he was forced by Xu Mu to watch.

Just like this time, he was forced by Xu Mu to protect the people who should belong to him.

Xu Mu once told him that no one would choose to rebel unless he could not survive.

If they live and work in peace and contentment, who is willing to leave their hometown and be displaced?
Under Xu Mu's mandatory task, Yang Guang in the rainstorm walked to the first phase of the residential area, and then entered the supervisor's office where the nurse used to stay.

A small and small construction site study room that can shelter from the rain, where you can simply work.

He picked up the pen and paper on the table and began to calculate.

He wants to plan, and when the capping slab is delivered from the lord, he will cover it directly.

Provide a shelter from the rain for tens of thousands of people outside Wanmin City.

……

at the same time.

Xu Mu came to the institute again.

He did not prepare the slate.

However, there is a miraculous research institute, and one night's work is equivalent to five days, which is completely enough for the research institute to produce the required stone slabs.

These slabs are actually not cement slabs, but imitating a kind of slab tile of later generations, made of various plant fibers and a little cement.

The molding speed is very fast, easy to use, and durable.

It only needs Lao Yang to build the frame, and then the roof can be put on directly.

This night, the entire Wanmin City is destined to be a sleepless night.

Everyone didn't sleep well, Xu Mu didn't, Fang Xuanling didn't, Yang Guang didn't, the people outside the city didn't, and neither did the two thousand troops.

Under Xu Mu's order, a thousand soldiers formed a long line outside the city, and set up guards on all dangerous roads outside the city to ensure that the people entered the city in an orderly manner.

And under Xu Mu's strong prestige, Fang Xuanling also successfully persuaded the people outside the city to abandon the wooden shed, and simply brought some necessary supplies and quickly entered the city lightly.

By early morning, Fang Xuanling had successfully organized tens of thousands of people into Wanmin City, and arrived at the Phase I Engineering Office of the residential area.

The sky was slightly bright, but the torrential rain became more and more torrential, falling with a crackling sound.

At this moment, a soldier outside the city ran towards Xu Mu and the others in the heavy rain.

"My lord, the torrential rain lasted through the night, and the mountain torrents broke out outside the city. All the low-lying areas have been washed away by the flood, and they are about to hit the walls of Wanmin City!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and Yang Guang suddenly raised their heads, and suddenly heard the sound of a mountain collapse in the distance.

They could hear the roar of the raging torrent through the city wall.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but said with emotion: "Han Feizi said that a sage sees the small to know the bud, and sees the end to know the end, so he is afraid when he sees the elephant chopsticks, and knows that the world is insufficient. Today, my lord, when he sees a light rain from the sky in the middle of the night, he knows that the mountain torrent is coming. Only by seeing the small things and gaining the foresight can we prevent tens of thousands of people from being attacked by mountain torrents, and countless people will live..."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Xu Mu.

He felt more and more that he had chosen the right organization instead of the wrong person.

And Yang Guang was also stunned. Xu Mu's first prophecy really came true...
