Chapter 186 Harvest and Rainfall

Wu Bai stood by the river. As the captain of the guard, he had to focus on possible dangers in the territory, and Ji Lin also immediately sent him to the flood plain and the river that crossed the plain.

Always keep an eye on possible changes in this river.

The river water rose in two days and exceeded the warning line they inserted in the water to measure the height of the river.

The weather was unusually gloomy, and just because it wasn't raining here didn't mean it wasn't raining elsewhere.

A continuous large-scale rainfall will cause the flow and velocity of the river to increase. The heavy rain falling from the sky will fall on the mountains and form a stream, carrying sediment and collecting it into the lower river.

If this continues, in two days, the bridge they built at the lower level will be submerged, and the river will spread out on the plain on the other side of the river. In three days, the height of their river will exceed the flood defense embankments they have built now. .

The river water was already visibly turbulent, and the originally clear water flow was mixed with a large number of broken branches. The stone piers of the bridge were still solid and would not be damaged by this collision.

Around him, five new watchtowers were lined up along the flood control embankment. They would observe whether there were any abnormalities in the water flow.

Wu Bai felt that he must immediately send someone to Ji Lin to report the abnormal flow of the river so that his lord could prepare in time.

The natural disaster has revealed its form to everyone.

Suddenly, Wu Bai saw other figures in his sight. Behind him, a farmer and a group of farmers walked quickly along the road with shovels. They also carried rune lamps and torches for lighting. Now the territory receives a large number of sea fish every day. , some of the fish oil obtained can be made into fuel to provide necessary lighting.

I guess they were already ready to work all night.

Wu Bai found his name from his memory and called him.

"Lao Liu, what are you going to do with these people?"

"Harvest the ginger and carrots on the opposite side, and if you have time, harvest other things that can be harvested as well. Try to complete the harvest within one day. When the day is up, you must return to the territory regardless of whether it is completed or not."

Liu Yansheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said to the guard captain in front of him.

"The Lord also asked me to ask you about the flow rate of the river and whether it is safe. If it is not safe, we will not cross it."

Although hundreds of acres of ginger and carrots are allowed to grow freely in the wild, the harvest has not been lost to the point where it cannot sustain the needs of the territory. As seasonings, they are enough to continuously supply the needs of the entire territory, and their growth rate is even slightly higher than the rate of collection in the territory.

If there is a flood and the fields are flooded, none of these gingers and carrots will survive.

In order to cope with the autumn harvest a few days ago, they spent almost no energy on the ginger and carrot fields across the river. People in the agricultural area would collect a batch of semi-wild ginger every day and deliver it to the canteen on time.

It is much better to keep it fresh in the ground than to pull it out.

The ingredients used in the canteen are absolutely fresh.

And these plants, especially ginger, can also be sold at a pretty good price in the market. If all these crops are recovered, the territory can survive the upcoming natural disaster for a while longer.

"Is this so..."

Wu Bai nodded. Now that the river has not yet risen, he thought that he could let these people go over to harvest crops.

The bridge made extensive use of wood and steel, ensuring quality and standing firm in the fast-flowing river.

But if the water floods the bridge, it will be difficult to say.

"You guys go over there quickly, I'm here to watch for you, and I'll give you a signal if there's any danger."

Wu Bai said, pointing to the big torch on the top of the watchtower, and said that if he found an accident, he would ask the guards here to light all five big torches.

The brightness of the rune light is too low, and the light cannot be seen clearly from a little distance. If you want higher brightness illumination, you still need to use a torch. The light after the big fire is ignited can be seen clearly from several kilometers away.

After sending away the people who came to seize the goods, Wu Bai ordered the guard members to return to the city hall with the information about the changes in the river water to inform the lord. As the person in charge, he must stick to his post to monitor the situation of the river.

After receiving Wu Bai's report, the lord sitting in the city hall immediately turned his attention from the calm coast to the river, thinking, and mobilized all the militia and troops to build a flood embankment with mud there.

As long as those who are willing to participate in the front line of flood rescue, whether they are militiamen or volunteers, regardless of success or failure, he decided to notify them to obtain their own houses after this natural disaster is over.

This promotion mechanism itself is to cultivate territorial citizens who have a sense of identity with the territory and let them understand the essence of wealth creation through labor.

Territorial citizens who are willing to risk their lives for their territory fully meet this standard.

The identity of the people in the territory is the most difficult thing to shape in this territory. They must create a common identity for the people in the territory to unite them into the most powerful organism.

Ji Lin recorded his thoughts on paper and looked out the window.

It was already dark at this time, and Ji Lin was not sleepy at all. He was handling official duties in the brightly lit city hall. Thick cumulonimbus clouds had completely covered the sky in the territory, and no light could shine through.

Tick ​​tock.

The patter of raindrops fell on the stone bricks in the night, and the rustling sound spread throughout the territory. The rune lamps in the hazy rain and fog still emitted faint lights, which scattered into faint dots in the unfolding, giving this somewhat classical town a touch of dreamy color.

The people who were still in the house looked at the raindrops outside the window and listened to the sounds of nature, and they couldn't help but feel a little more sleepy.

It's raining.
