Ancient natural disasters, walking sideways in the maximum level space!

Jiang Yue and Xiao Zhu settled down in Liujia Village. As the temperature kept rising, all the villagers went out to work at night and stayed at home during the day to escape the heat.

Jiang Yue took a thermometer to measure the temperature every day, and the average temperature rose by 3 degrees every day.

This was their sixth day in Liujia Village, and the temperature was as high as 48°C!

The hot weather caused the river water level to drop significantly. The marks on the river bank were getting smaller day by day. The villagers came out at night to carry water to irrigate the fields.

The land was still visibly cracked from drought, and the crops that were about to ear had lost their vitality, turning yellow and dying one after another.

The villagers held meetings in the ancestral hall again and again, and the village chief went to the county town many times, and the news they received was that the entire Great Xia Dynasty was suffering from drought.

The most serious situation was that of the Great Jin Kingdom. As the source of the An River, the water flow actually became smaller.

The water level has dropped significantly at several branches, and by the time the water reaches Li County, it is already a drop in the bucket.

The village heads and headmen of several nearby villages hold meetings every night. The old man at the village entrance puffs on his pipe and looks into the distance. The land they irrigate with all their might is turning yellow and cracking day by day.

They could only shake their heads and sigh. There were even some so-called fortune-tellers and charlatans who came to the village to cheat people by saying they could pray for rain.

The villagers pooled their money and performed a ritual, but not a drop of rain fell and two houses were burned down instead.

The weather was already very hot and dry, and they even used fire to draw water during the ritual. As a result, sparks flew onto the thatched hut, and the fire grew so big that it burned fiercely in an instant.

We could only save people, all the things were burned.

Since the heavy rain a month ago, there has not been a drop of rain since then.

It is common for it not to rain for a month, but the temperature this year was too high and the ancient people could not adapt to such high temperatures.

Many elderly people and children died of heatstroke, and white sails were hung in every village every day.

Five days later, the water level in the river at the entrance gradually decreased and was completely unable to irrigate the crops. The water level in the well at the entrance of the village also dropped and no water could be pumped out.

There is only silt and a dry riverbed left in the river. Every night, teenagers with torches search the riverbed for dead fish and shrimp.

Under such high temperatures, there is no trace of green outside, and all the trees and crops are dry.

Men go shirtless every day, and women start wearing only an inner shirt and a thin outer coat when going out at night.

At night, when the torches could not reach them, they would roll up their sleeves. As long as no one saw them, they didn't care whether it was immoral or not.

Jiang Yue's house had a cellar, about the size of two rooms. The master and servant cleaned it up and moved two beds and a table in.

Xiao Zhu originally didn't know what his young lady was doing.

Isn’t the cellar a place to store grain?

Why put a bed in there? It seems like he is planning to live in the cellar.

Sure enough, Jiang Yue left the cellar door open for ventilation. She then took out several large ice basins and battery-powered fans, blowing air through the ice towards them.

The temperature in the cellar is originally lower than that on the ground. Now with the help of ice, even if the temperature outside is 48 degrees Celsius, it won’t feel very hot.

Jiang Yue also altered her clothes. After all, she was at home and no one was coming, so she just put on a short suspender and shorts.

At first, Xiaozhu was not used to it and was shy about exposing large areas of skin.

She refused to wear it no matter what, and as the temperature rose day by day, she couldn't stand the heat anymore.

Looking at my young lady, dressed in cool clothes, eating ice cream, sitting with her legs crossed, and leisurely looking at that thing called... What is a mobile phone?

Finally, she couldn't stand the heat anymore and changed into the vest and hot pants Jiang Yue gave her. It turned out to be quite cool!

The master and servant were avoiding the summer heat in Liujia Village, losing contact with the outside world and unaware that these countries were in chaos.

First, it was Dajin, the source of the An River, and the guards came back to report.

The water level has dropped significantly, and the water output is less than half of what it used to be. In the northernmost part of Dajin, there are several snow-capped mountains. Due to the high temperature, the tops of the mountains have begun to melt, and avalanches have occurred from time to time.

People's homes at the foot of the snow-capped mountains were destroyed, mudslides destroyed farmland and houses, and people in the north have begun to migrate south.

The crops in the fields were completely destroyed, and the people had to eat the food stored at home, which prevented a large number of people from starving to death.

Then let’s talk about the State of Liang. The previous volcanic eruption caused the State of Liang to move its capital to Fuya City in the southeast.

However, they encountered a flood on the way. Fortunately, there was a royal garden in the city with several royal ships.

In addition, every household made a living by fishing and every household had a boat, so there were almost no casualties among the people who moved the palace.

Now the Liang royal family and court ministers are still on the water, sailing southeast.

During the Xia Dynasty, high temperatures and droughts caused countless deaths and injuries, and the imperial physicians and doctors had no idea how to treat heatstroke.

People can only try their best to avoid the heat, and the ice stored in various places has been sold out.

The people sent by Emperor Mingde to the Summer Resort came back to report that the temperature in the resort was extremely high and it had lost its function of providing relief from the heat.

Now the entire palace is saving on the use of ice, and a scene that has never happened before has occurred.

All the concubines in the palace, regardless of whether they got along well before, were now arranged in one room.

In order to save the consumption of ice and drinking water, and given the hot weather, if a concubine did not want to live with others, she could go out and escape the heat.

The concubines reluctantly took up their places, and it was too hot to even argue.

We had just experienced a landslide and the disaster relief was not yet completed when we encountered high temperatures.

In order to prevent the outbreak of plague, Emperor Mingde ordered the dead people to be burned directly.

Emperor Mingde seemed to have aged a dozen years in just half a month. He felt a headache looking at the memorials submitted from various places.

The whole country was hit by drought and there was no harvest.

Previously, the gods purchased a large amount of supplies, and the people followed suit and stockpiled a lot, but the water problem is imminent.

Moreover, continuous natural disasters caused the population of the Great Xia Dynasty to decline rapidly.

The elderly and children suffered the most deaths, and even though Emperor Mingde distributed gold and silver from the national treasury, it had no effect. After all, it was difficult to buy things with money at that time.

Now only in the south is everything peaceful, there is no famine, and the temperature is not as high as in the north.

With sufficient water, crops can grow despite the difficulties.

On the fifteenth day of Jiang Yue and Xiao Zhu's summer vacation, an earthquake struck the Great Xia Dynasty again.

The earthquake zone was more than fifty miles away from the imperial palace, and the palace was also severely damaged.

There were broken limbs everywhere. The palace was basically a one-story wooden house, and the earthquake occurred at the coolest time of the night.

Emperor Mingde requested that the ice be removed at night so that it would be cooler outside than inside.

Therefore, many concubines and palace maids escaped the disaster by taking shelter from the heat in the courtyard.

Most of the house collapsed, and Concubine Liang, Princess Yaochi and other people in the harem were injured.

Emperor Mingde ordered the Imperial Hospital to bandage the wounds on the spot, and ordered the Crown Prince and several princes to lead people out of the palace to check on the situation of the people.

The earthquake lasted for half an hour and the magnitude was not very high, but most ancient buildings were wooden houses and had no earthquake-proof functions.

So most of the city collapsed, and everyone, no matter whether they were dignitaries or ordinary people, watched in a daze as their homes were destroyed.

This is Kyoto!
