Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 80

If there really were any natural disasters or man-made disasters, Governor Wen would most likely ignore the people of Luoshui County. This is why County Magistrate Chen attached so much importance to Jiang Yipei's so-called "Imperial Astronomical Observatory" prophecy.

Putting everything aside, the lives of the 100,000 people under his rule alone are worth the gamble.

Now, he has been most successful in his bet.

The rain has fallen, but I don’t know if it will last for three months.

Thanks to the efforts of County Magistrate Chen, Luoshui County was able to preserve 90 percent of the rice. The remaining 10 percent was harvested in the rain or not dried.

At first it was planned that harvesters would harvest 20 kilograms of rice per acre, but in reality, those harvested without harvesters were also reported at 20 kilograms per acre, which was the responsibility of the village head, and the full amount had already been collected.

The amount of grain per mu is only four jin per mu less than the autumn tax, which is almost the same as the tax collected.

The county had grain, and it had all been transported away. Moreover, before the rain came, people were sent to Qinzhou to purchase a large batch, so there would be no problem in filling the stomach for a short period of time.

But the fact that Governor Wen was watching closely from the side made people feel uneasy.

The fifteenth day of heavy rain.

The water in the county government office had reached the waist, making it completely uninhabitable. County Magistrate Chen requisitioned a three-story building in the county as a temporary office, but it was inconvenient to get in and out, and there were not many boats in the county, only five at most.

Jiangjia Village.

Limestone is piled up in the corners of every household. It is somewhat useful, but not completely useful. If you look carefully at the least noticed places, you will still find mold.

In the beginning, Jiang Xiaomi would go out to tread water with Jiang Xiubai from time to time, and would play for half a day like a little madman. But now... all her leisure time has disappeared, and she even feels annoyed by the "tick-tick" sound.

The sky was gray, like a huge rock pressing on one’s chest, making one extremely uncomfortable.

The wind had died down, but the rain was still falling, and the day was like a leak.

"When will this rain stop?" Jiang Xiubin covered his face with a book, feeling extremely depressed. He was so bored that he actually started reading a book. Can you believe it?!

His father even doubted for a moment that he was not his son...

There was dry limestone, so the kang did not need to be heated too high. However, the weather was not cold, and even if the kang was not hot, one would still sweat all over when sleeping. After waking up with wet hair for three consecutive days, Jiang Xiaomi resolutely returned to her own room and slept on a bunk bed. She did not want to squeeze with her parents anymore.

Jiang Suying didn't insist any longer, she was a little overwhelmed.

The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Suying went to the pharmacy, where a small portion of medicinal materials were kept. Her two young apprentices, who were being trained as a priority, lived there, so it was not convenient for her to transfer all the medicinal materials to the space.

Come here to take a look at the storage conditions of the medicinal materials and to inspect the learning progress of the two young apprentices.

The two little guys are not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old. They are quite smart and have good understanding.

She just can't read very well. Apart from those related to medicinal herbs, she basically doesn't know any other words, so she has to learn them all over again. Sometimes she acts as a pinyin teacher.

"Aunt, my great-grandfather's legs are badly swollen. I'd like you to come and take a look." The great-grandson of Grandpa Jiang came to the pharmacy to find Jiang Suying under the guidance of a servant.

"Where is it swollen? Did you fall?"

"He didn't fall. It's an old problem. His knee hurts when it rains. But this time, not only does his leg hurt, but it's also swollen. Doctor Jiang said it's rheumatic paralysis."

When Jiang Suying heard this, she knew it was most likely rheumatoid arthritis.

Jiangjia Village is located in the south, where it rains a lot. One-third of the year is rainy, so it is not surprising to get this disease.
