Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine
Chapter 168 Flood in the South
Tao Wuji didn't really want to send the message to his son!
But he has no choice!
At this time, he was lying on the kang in a farmer's house. He had been unconscious for three days, which made the man who rescued him couldn't help but murmur.
"This person won't die here, right? Why isn't he waking up yet?"
It turned out that after Tao Wuji left Kaoshan Village, he went back and arranged all the servants in his family to live in a nearby farm.
Then he temporarily stopped all the business he was doing. He didn't want to stand out in this chaotic world. He couldn't control those who wanted to make a fortune in this chaotic world, but at least he wouldn't do that.
The business at hand was halted, but he had to make arrangements for all his subordinates one by one.
After all, they have been with him for many years, he can't just leave them alone.
Everything was going smoothly.
They headed south and arranged all his people and affairs very well.
When we arrived in Nanchang County, it suddenly started to rain heavily. The rain lasted for several days and nights and never stopped.
The heavy rain for such a long time caused the river bank to burst and the flood was coming.
Many villages were flooded along the way.
There is drought in the north and floods in the south. The world is really going to change.
Tao Wuji led his men and horses and rode at full speed towards his own farm.
There are more than 100 tenants on his farm. The farm has always had excellent production and is also a relatively profitable farm.
But the disadvantage of that village was that it was located in a low-lying area. Before the flood could reach it, the heavy rain overnight had already destroyed the entire village.
Although they had been told in advance to abandon everything in the manor and hide in a high place, Tao Wuji was still worried.
He was afraid that the tenants would be reluctant to leave their property behind, and he was also worried that his subordinates would not be able to do their job well and could not take these 100 people away from the farm and away from danger.
That's why he rushed to that farm in such a hurry.
Many villages have been destroyed wherever they passed, and there are even many corpses floating on the water. They don’t know whose relatives they are or who’s the pillars of their families.
No one knows how many families have been destroyed by this disaster.
But what Tao Wuji can do now is to rush to his farm and rescue his tenants.
On the other side, the men he sent to notify the people in the manor to evacuate were now arguing with the manager of the manor!
"The boss said that we don't need to worry about the things here, and let everyone evacuate to the mountain quickly. A lot of food and daily necessities have been stored in the mountain in advance. We can go down the mountain after the flood recedes! Why don't you listen to me?"
"What do you mean I don't listen? Don't always say that the boss said what the boss said. The boss is not here and doesn't know the situation here!
There has been a lot of rain this year, and many fields have been flooded, but there are still some fields that can yield a lot of grain. If we leave now, how great will the loss be?
Besides, we don’t even know whether the flood will reach us.
The dike on the Huaihe County side broke, but the dike on our side was newly built by Magistrate Wu last year, so it is not so easy to break.
"If you ask me, there's nothing wrong at all. You're just making a fuss out of nothing! If there's nothing wrong, and you just left so much food and so much wealth behind, then that would be my dereliction of duty, right?"
The two people argued with each other, but neither of them could win the argument, and they wasted time in the argument.
Magistrate Wu did ask the court to allocate a considerable amount of money for the construction of a new dam.
But how many officials enriched themselves during this construction, and how many ordinary people would know about it?
The flood flowed southward along the Huaihe County, rushing towards this side with unstoppable force.
Tao Wuji didn't know how many horses he had worn out from running, but he finally arrived at Zhuangzi before the flood came.
Looking at the tenants still working in the fields, he was so angry that he asked his men to quickly notify the tenants to retreat to the mountains!
He hurried back to Zhuangzi.
Because he is not familiar with the people, how many people are there in Zhuangzi?
Therefore, the village's manager was also required to gather all the tenants and quickly retreat to the mountain.
When I arrived at Zhuangzi, I heard the sound of two people arguing outside the door.
Tao Wuji was so angry that he kicked the door open.
"What are you doing? Do you think what I said is bullshit? If you don't want to be the manager anymore, get out of here right away. Tao Wuji doesn't keep useless people!
If you still want to do it, now, immediately, go and gather everyone to retreat to the mountain!! "
The manager was startled by the sudden scene. He didn't expect the boss to come here suddenly. If he had known this, he would have taken action earlier and would not have offended the boss.
Now he wanted to explain something, but looking at Tao Wuji's angry eyes, he knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless. He had to run out in a panic and gather all the tenants of the manor!
And the person sent to report the news also made Tao Wuji feel useless.
But right now he needed people, so he had no way of sending them to other places. He could only ask them to follow his orders!
After everyone left, Tao Wuji took a look around the farm and didn't plan to take anything away.
Just took an account book from the drawer.
When I went out again, the tenants quickly gathered together.
There was no panic in their eyes.
But Tao Wuji didn't have time to explain too much to everyone, so he quickly asked someone to lead everyone to retreat towards the mountain.
After rushing for a while, everyone reached halfway up the mountain when a flood suddenly came and submerged the entire village.
No one dared to stop and continued walking up the mountain.
Tao Wuji looked at the flooded village and could only sigh silently!
I thought to myself, as long as everyone is okay, it's fine.
When everyone reached the top of the mountain safely, Tao Wuji explained the reason to everyone.
And assure everyone that the supplies on hand are sufficient to last everyone for several months?
When the flood receded and there was no danger anymore, everyone returned to the village to rest.
Tao Wuji seldom came to the farm, and many tenants didn't even know him.
But after experiencing this, everyone remembered Tao Wuji in their hearts.
Tao Wuji's image in their hearts suddenly became taller.
They were a little scared. If it weren't for their master's house, they would have been washed away by the flood without knowing where they were!
When Tao Wuji looked at Zhuangzi's manager again, he didn't seem as angry as before, and a smile appeared on his face instead.
"Okay, you've been with me for so many years, I still know you! Now settle everyone down. If you need anything on the mountain, tell Dai Yong and he will help you find a solution!
As for when to go down the mountain, I will ask someone to inform you!"
When the manager saw that Tao Wuji had no intention of blaming him, he felt relieved at once, responded to Tao Wuji's words repeatedly, and promised that he would do it well.
Tao Wuji gave Dai Yong a few more instructions and led his men down the mountain from another place.
He will definitely make his own arrangements for the management of Zhuangzi in the future.
But now, there is still a time when he can be of use, so we can't fall out with each other yet.
This is his style all along!
