Stepping into the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking at the dark skyline, Feng Ziying felt that she might really be a little overwhelmed.

It's cool to pretend to be temporary, but the follow-up work is really not done by people.

The heavy rain that had been intermittent for seven or eight days finally broke out at the last moment.

From the northwest of the river trough west to Mingyu Fang to Jiqing Fang's Hongluo Factory, all of them have been flooded, the situation in the south is even worse, from Fucai Fang to Dashi Yongfang to the south of Nanxun Fang to the south of Ming Shifang armor factory, intermittently flooded more than ten streets and alleys, almost collapsed everywhere you go.

The proposal sent by Qingtan Academy did not attract enough attention in the imperial court at first, even if Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia both shouted and cheered for it.

But this is not their jurisdiction after all, Qiao Yingjia greeted the Imperial History Office of the Patrol City, and asked them to strengthen the inspection of the river canals that were encroached upon and blocked within the five cities, but at this time, it was obviously not the problem found in the inspection, but the time to take measures immediately.

But Qingtan Academy did not stop because of this, they spontaneously organized themselves to enter the city, and began to investigate the worst situation in Xicheng and Nancheng, which even caused great dissatisfaction among the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the patrol camp, and the Ministry of Industry also continued to speak coldly, but under the suppression of Qiao Yingjia, this matter finally sat up.

From the fifth day of rain, the ditches of the entire West City and the South City began to overflow, the drainage system of the entire Kyoshi City began to collapse, and the consequences of the soaking for many days began to appear.

On the third night of the first day of July, a night of violent wind and rain caused a large area of houses to collapse in nine streets and alleys of Xifang and three streets and alleys of Mingyufang in Xicheng River Trough and four streets and alleys of Jiqingfang in Zhongcheng, with a total of 912 collapsed houses, involving more than 300 households and more than 200 deaths.

At the same time, the Ming Shifang in the east city also collapsed two streets, and more than 2,000 houses collapsed intermittently in the middle of the city, but these two streets collapsed after almost the entire street was submerged, causing more than 3,000 people to be homeless, and more than 160 people were either killed by the collapse of houses or drowned in the dark night.

In contrast, the students of Qingtan Academy, who brought the disciples of Chongzheng Academy to carry out the action together, temporarily relocated more than 3,000 of the most dangerous people in Mingyufang, Dashi Yongfang, and Nanxunfang through their efforts, and a considerable number of the houses of these more than 3,000 households collapsed in this night, but none of them died in this catastrophe.

At this time, the imperial court began to act quickly as if it had just woken up from a dream, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the patrol battalion, the Shuntian Mansion and even the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry all acted quickly, and even the five military battalions in the Beijing camp also dispatched some soldiers to help the various districts in disaster relief.

In contrast, the disciples of Qingtan Academy, Chongzheng Academy, and even Tonghui Academy, which followed up, formed a rescue and evacuation team, but under the guidance of the unified rescue plan and rescue manual, the rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner.

From the attack and opposition of all parties at the beginning, to the cold bystanders in the middle period, and then to the gradual cooperation and participation in the later stage, Fangjia and even the Shuntian Mansion in Wanping and Daxing counties have been secretive, so that the entire rescue and evacuation work has finally begun to formalize.

The heavy rain did not stop because the court moved.

On the fifth night of the first day of July, it was another night of heavy rain and strong winds, which directly caused the entire southern city including Dashi Yongfang to fall into an ocean again, the water rose to a height of four feet that night, and more than 2,000 houses collapsed, and the death toll exceeded 180 people, and the situation in the eastern city was not good, and more than 600 houses collapsed in Chongjiaofang alone, and more than 40 people died.

This continuous storm caused the entire Jingshi City to fall into an ocean, and in the early stage of contacting a large number of temples and making some preparations, the effect of the work was revealed, more than 50,000 people in the Jingshi City were homeless, if it was in the past, it would only be a disaster, but now most of them can be settled, this situation is even full of praise from the side of the patrol city Yushi and the Dragon Forbidden Captain.

"Ziying, here!"

Hearing someone shouting on the black side, Feng Ziying also waved her hand tiredly, and said to Fang Youdu, who was also exhausted next to him: "Uncle Fang, can you still hold on?" Brother Dazhang is shouting over there. ”

"No problem, just get through this." Fang Youdu's face was pale, and the soaked sackcloth clothes were stained on his body, making him shiver from the cold.

Although it was summer, this night soaked in water overnight, the taste was really uncomfortable, and the body bones were almost broken, and it must be a serious illness waiting for me.

"Brother Yixin, what about you?" Feng Ziying turned to the other person next to her.

Song Shixiang gritted his teeth, "Uncle Fang can hold it, the foolish brother is naturally fine, if there is anything, Ziying, you can arrange it!" ”

"That's okay, Uncle Fang still has to follow me for a run, several sewage pools in Jiqingfang here have all been poured out, you have to take this group of people from patrolling the camp over, and prohibit the people in the vicinity from taking water from the wells in this area, although the water in this area has receded somewhat, but the well water must not be used, let them go to the unflooded wells in the nearby Jiafang to get water, otherwise I'm afraid it will be another disaster,......"

Looking at the heavy and numb faces squatting on the side of the street and on the roofs of the houses, Feng Ziying's heart was also miserable.

Many people have lost their loved ones in this storm, and many more have lost their old houses and possessions, and they don't even know where to live next and how to survive.

In this era, there really isn't much to do in the face of God's wrath.

The lack of scientific planning and rational layout of urban construction, coupled with the low management and emergency mobilization capabilities, has made the huge Beijing City basically in a state of disorderly expansion.

However, with the slightest wind and grass, the epidemic will follow, and it is normal to lack the most basic awareness and measures for the prevention of the disease, and it is normal for thousands of people to die at every turn.

"Okay, Ziying, what else do you have to advise?" Song Shixiang already admired Feng Ziying so much that he threw himself to the ground.

When the proposal was delivered to the imperial court and caused a lot of controversy, Feng Ziying's image once again attracted attention.

For more than a year, Feng Ziying has tried her best to keep a low profile in the academy.

The students are all forgetful, especially when they see Feng Ziying studying the scriptures and righteousness in the classroom with herself, scratching her ears and cheeks and not being able to answer the papers, and worrying about the poor results in the monthly and quarterly exams, the halo that originally shrouded his head seems to be slowly fading again.

But now, an article can immediately make the imperial court look sideways, and at the same time, the concept of practicing family affairs, national affairs, and caring about everything in the world as the motto of Qingtan students also makes everyone truly realize that this person is not playing with mouth cannons, but to do practical things in a down-to-earth manner.

"Well, remember, no matter where the water is, it must be boiled before drinking, and if you can't drink raw water, you really can't do it, you must also drink water from an unflooded well, and you can't drink any other water."

This is also the minimum requirement, there is no public toilet everywhere in this Jingshi City, there is no public toilet at all, any wall and alley is the best place to defecate, and even some of the beautiful little jasper, really encounter this situation, and it can only be solved in this way, this is the current situation of Jingshi City.

It doesn't matter if it's dirty, smelly or ugly, but once it encounters this kind of flooding, it will be a disaster.

Almost all water sources are inevitably polluted, and the people who are not much aware of this have no choice but to choose the water source they feel is very clean, and the concept of boiled water in this era is not popular in ordinary people's homes, so the slightest carelessness is a plague epidemic.

"Ziying, I'm afraid this is difficult to do, right?" Song Shixiang was also a little embarrassed, this question is not easy to do.

"Wholeheartedly, do your best." Feng Ziying can only do this, some places do not have the conditions to boil boiling water, you just ask for it, it is in vain.

Watching Song Shixiang leave with a team of people patrolling the camp and the leaders of Fangjia, Feng Ziying continued to move forward.

The sound of rustling in the hall made people very uncomfortable, Emperor Yonglong did not hide his anxious color, and his eagle-like gaze continued to patrol His Highness's ministers.

"Shen Qing, how long will it rain again?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no conclusion on the Qin Tianjian side, but according to the situation of Yiyun, an old man in Jingshi City, it has not been encountered for decades, and only the heavy rain in the fifth year of Yuanxi can be compared." Shen always stood out and said calmly: "According to the old man in the city, it is estimated that the rain should stop in three or five days. ”

"Three or five days?" The anger in Emperor Yonglong's heart was almost uncontrollable, looking at the goosebump-haired old fox in front of him, he really wanted to kick him down, but he knew that he couldn't yet.

This old dog is here, this kind of disaster can make him top the tank, and one day he will make these guys who make a pair of eyes, noses, noses, and hearts in front of him, and all the guys who don't change color will disappear in front of him!

"On the third or fifth day, is this Jingshi City still there? How many people are left in this city? The sarcasm in Emperor Yonglong's words can no longer be suppressed, but this is originally Emperor Yonglong's temperament, and in the past two years or so, everyone has more or less adapted to it, just get used to it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the rain is getting lighter, although it has not stopped, it is not expected to rise too much, and the five military camps and patrol battalions have also dredged the river on the nine gates, and it is expected that the water will gradually disappear tomorrow and tomorrow." Listed is the cabinet deputy assistant Fang Congzhe.

Emperor Yonglong's face was slightly softened, for this sub-assistant, Emperor Yonglong was still relatively satisfied, but this sub-auxiliary had a somewhat soft personality, which was both recognized by Emperor Yonglong but also a little worried.

At present, the government is still unstable, and Emperor Yonglong knows that he can't control the government as freely as his father used to be, which requires a stronger Shoufu, Shen has always left, but who will replace him?

"Well, the strategy of dredging the river and cleaning the ditch has been sent to the Zhugong desk seven days ago, but I see that no one has cared about it in the past few days, and it was not until the day before yesterday that I started to move, the patrol camp, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Beijing Camp tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of officials and other officials are not in a hurry to a group of academy students, I don't know if the princes here are blushing and ashamed?"

Once Emperor Yonglong was really angry, it was this kind of gloomy tone, which meant that the new emperor, who had been in power for three years, was already a little impatient, and even really annoyed.

The previous ridicule was just a harbinger, but now it has entered the real storm stage, and the next step may really be for someone to fall to the ground.

The entire hall was silent, and only the voice of Emperor Yonglong echoed in the hall.
