Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhang Xinshu had indeed received the letter.

The Saker Falcon delivered the letter to Zhang Xinshu early in the morning.

He was half asleep when he heard someone knocking on the window outside. He woke up instantly, put on his clothes, went out alertly, and found it was his mother's Saker Falcon.

He took out the letter from his small schoolbag and opened it to read.

After reading it, his face didn't look very good. My mother said that there will be a typhoon in 3 days, which will be a huge tornado and heavy rain. The wind can blow away houses, trees, and livestock, and it will be accompanied by heavy rain. I am afraid that there will be floods and disasters.

He also instructed that after the typhoon, if he needed anything, he should ask Bei Ke to come to him with his beads.

Of course he believed his mother's words, but the news was too heavy. His heart was instantly gripped by the weight of the people in this coastal city.

There is no time to waste, we must act quickly.

He first called two butlers.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicts that there will be a super typhoon in three days, which will be a huge tornado and heavy rain. The wind will be able to blow away unstable houses, trees, and livestock. We must prepare early."

"This... is so terrifying? Master, how should we prepare?"

"First, we must ensure the safety of the people in the mansion, farm, shop, and fields. All items placed outdoors must be collected and moved indoors. If they cannot be collected, they must be secured with ropes. We must also store food, water, firewood, and flood prevention supplies."

"Yes, Master."

"Well, the day after tomorrow, everyone will be asked to stay indoors and not come out. If they are found, they will all be beaten and exiled. Water will be stored in each dormitory, and two large bags of instant noodles will be issued to each person. The same goes for the hired workers. Let them go home early and make preparations early."

"Yes, Master, what about the oxen and livestock?"

"On the night after tomorrow, everyone rush to the cafeteria lobby and find a few people to guard it."

"Yes, Master."

"Well, Sang Baina's inner courtyard, personnel, and stored items are all handed over to you. I'm going to the government office now."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Xinshu didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He went to the government office early and started writing notices to announce the impending typhoon.

Those who came to work later also wrote along.

The written posters were posted and distributed to various counties.

Fortunately, coastal cities are relatively densely populated, and the county is not far from the provincial capital and can be reached in one day. If it were a northern city with a vast area and sparse population, it would be really dangerous.

The notice was written with threats and inducements, and those who disobeyed would be beaten with a stick and exiled.

The county magistrate was also required to go to each village to carry out propaganda with drums and gongs, and to take protective measures in advance.

After finishing all this, he went to his own shop and collected some valuables and money.

Food, chili sauce, and instant noodles were also put away, so that some food could be preserved in case the water really floods later.

Fearing that it would not be enough, he went to other major grain stores to buy the largest amount and had it delivered to the mansion.

Fearing that there might not be enough water, he took a dozen large jars from his own grocery store, filled them with water, and stacked them in the space.

He instructed the shop to take various countermeasures and asked them to return to the manor the day after tomorrow. They no longer had to guard the shop.

After everything was done, I returned to the yamen and put away all the important files and books.

An order was also issued to the people in the government office, telling them not to come to work the day after tomorrow and to stay at home to avoid the typhoon.

Because every day and every moment there were soldiers beating drums and gongs on the streets to publicize, everyone knew about it. Some people were panicked, but they all sat up as Zhang Xinshuo requested.

Store water, food, vegetables, and flood prevention supplies.

The various large clans did not believe it at first, but Zhang Xinshuo specially sent people to deliver notices to them door to door, telling them to preserve the family’s food and to prepare various countermeasures.

There was no other way. They could no longer pretend they knew nothing and could only follow the prefect's instructions.

After three days of preparation, the typhoon day Zhao Yuanzhen mentioned finally arrived.

But everyone at home looked at the cloudless blue sky and felt skeptical about what Zhang Xinshu said.

Zhang Xinshu is in the room at this moment.

The doors and windows were closed, and all the flowers, plants and trees in the yard that could be moved were moved indoors.

Several Saker Falcons were also put into the space, for fear that they would be blown away if the house was damaged.

His room is almost full.

It is already 9 o'clock in the morning and the typhoon has not come yet. Some people can't sit still anymore and don't believe Zhang Xinshu, so they open the door and go out.

Afterwards, more and more people came out. They were still muttering that the prefect was playing a trick on them by mobilizing such a large force when there was clearly nothing.

Zhao Yuanlan was on his way. When he received Zhao Yuanzhen's letter, he immediately made a decision.

Let a few Saker Falcons go look for caves in the nearby mountains. Caves are the only place they can hide now.

They had to find more caves because there were more than 5000 people in their group and if there were not enough caves, they would not be able to recruit enough people.

Fortunately, there are four Saker Falcons here, which makes the search more efficient.

Several Saker Falcons searched outside for four or five hours and found more than 20 caves of various sizes.

Zhao Yuanlan walked towards the largest cave, first to see how many people the largest one could accommodate.

When he reached the cave entrance, Zhao Yuanlan was a little dumbfounded.

The hole is really big.

But it's not just a cave, it's a tomb underground palace. Somehow, the connection between the underground palace collapsed.

The underground palace was built in the middle of the mountain, which is the innermost part of the cave.

After expanding the underground palace a little and waiting for a long time, he asked someone to go down and check it out.

The owner of the tomb is unknown, and the interior has been searched, so it seems that it has most likely been robbed.

The underground palace is very large and winding, as big as a football field.

Zhao Yuanlan lit incense and bowed at the entrance of the underground palace.

"We were passing by here and encountered a storm. We had no choice but to borrow your precious land. We apologize for disturbing you. After the rain, we will help you clean up and close the underground palace so that you can continue to live a quiet life."

After saying that, he placed the incense at the entrance of the underground palace.

The incense burned vigorously, without any abnormality.

Zhao Yuanlan breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

After the incense burned out, Zhao Yuanlan began to arrange people.

All the boxes are placed on the ground and stacked up to minimize the floor space occupied.

The cave can hold 1000 people plus luggage, food, boxes, carriages, and horses.

The rest have to hide in the underground palace.

"Those who enter the underground palace must strictly abide by military orders. They are not allowed to move anything, disturb the main tomb, or keep anything private. Violators will be punished by military law."

"Yes, General."

"The first and second battalions are responsible for finding water sources and ensuring six days of water supply for people and livestock. The third and fourth battalions are responsible for wood, which is also the minimum amount for eight days. The fifth and sixth battalions are responsible for fodder for livestock. The seventh and eighth battalions are responsible for clearing trees, rocks and sandbags at the entrance of the cave. The ninetieth battalion is responsible for hunting and storing food. Let's get started!"

"Yes, General!"

Watching the officers and soldiers getting into action, Zhao Yuanlan built a temporary office area with wooden boxes inside the cave.

He told the several Saker Falcons to go into the cave obediently tomorrow night and stay inside the cave beside him and not come out without his order.

I don’t know which city this typhoon will land in!

After Lan Ying secured everything on the boat, she came back to report the situation to Zhao Yuanzhen.

She looked up at the sky. It was no different. But the lady was certainly not wrong.

Close all the doors and windows and continue observing from the window.

As she watched, she realized something was wrong. The sea line in the distance turned black.

Slowly, the black color seemed to have grown wings and attacked them.

"Madam, there is a dark crowd coming towards us over there."

"Yeah. A typhoon is coming."

She collected all the ships and placed them in her ring space.

Watching the sky getting darker and darker.

The fishy smell in the air became stronger and stronger.

She looked at the time. It was 9 o'clock. At this speed, they would be here in less than 10 minutes.

Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, the typhoon was already in sight.

Looking at the thousand-meter-high waves coming towards them, the boat was shaking so violently that Lan Ying could hardly stand and could only lie on the ground holding on to something.

Zhao Yuanzhen released the sleepyhead, and when the waves and tornado were about to swallow the ship, he brought the ship and Lan Ying into the space.

Lan Ying has fallen into a coma.

Zhao Yuanzhen turned on the scanner and looked at the typhoon's movement path. The typhoon was moving faster than she expected and it was estimated that it would make landfall in less than an hour.

The weather forecast shows that this typhoon will last for 4 days, but we don’t know its specific route or which city it will land in.

Zhao Yuanzhen sent a private message hoping to block the road in Yangzhou Prefecture. Yangzhou Prefecture had Zhang Xinshu in charge and there were some preparations. Other prefectures were not prepared at all. If they were used as a landing site in a prefecture, the consequences would be disastrous.

She would check the typhoon route every once in a while.

An hour later, the typhoon was approaching the land. Zhao Yuanzhen looked at its route and breathed a sigh of relief.

As she wished.

Registered in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Then I started to worry again. This typhoon was over level 10, and given the strength of the current buildings, I wonder if they can withstand the storm.

The buildings of the Daliang Dynasty were basically mortise and tenon structures. Even modern reinforced concrete buildings cannot withstand typhoons. Can these wooden mortise and tenon structures withstand it?

The only advantage is that the buildings are relatively short, with the tallest being only on the third floor, which can greatly reduce the number of wind-exposed points at high altitudes.

The buildings in Nancheng Garden are all one-story, so they should be safer.

Zhang Xinshu has the space bead she gave him, so his life should be safe.

At this moment, she was very glad that she bought the beads and gave them to Zhang Xinshu.

After four or five hours, the huge waves on the sea were not as high, but it was still raining heavily and the wind did not stop. The whistling sound could cause the deepest fear in the heart even in space.

Human beings can never resist the power of nature. It only needs to make a slight move, and humans will be like lambs to be slaughtered, completely unable to resist.
