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

Emperor Mingde just looked at everyone and said nothing more.

Everyone stood up and formed two rows. The county magistrate got into his carriage, and the county yamen runners trotted ahead to lead the way.

The royal family members were settled in the backyard of the county government office. Because Tan County is located at the junction of the East China Sea and the inland, its unique geographical location makes it easy to conduct trade between the East and the West.

Therefore, the area of ​​the Tan County government office is not small. The front yard is the county government office, and the back yard has four entrances and many rooms, enough to accommodate all the people in the harem.

In addition, Emperor Mingde was not fond of beautiful women, and the empress only had one wife and eight concubines, and six sons and three daughters.

All the ministers and dignitaries were settled in inns and empty houses. Since Tan County also received the order to build royal ships, everyone in the city who knew how to build ships built ships in Tan County.

In addition, many merchants and ministers sent people in advance to arrange shipbuilding and purchasing. The city could not accept so many orders, so people from many nearby villages also signed up to build ships.

After traveling for several months and settling down temporarily, merchants and ministers sent people to contact the informants they had contacted before.

In a short time, a large number of people left the city.

There were also orders to build royal ships in Tan County, but only three, as the main ship-building project was in Chao County, the county closest to the East China Sea.

Prince Rong was ordered to go to the workshop to check on the situation of the ships. The magistrate of Tan County reported that the three royal ships had been completed and were now in the river from Tan County to Chao County.

It is amazing to say that there are several branches of the East China Sea that have rushed onto the land, and they are not filled with river water, but sea water.

Although it could not irrigate the crops, it brought seaport trade to Tan County, making the people of Tan County live a prosperous life.

During this drought, the water level did not drop because the tributaries are connected to the sea.

But this is just a tributary, not a main channel, so the sea is not wide and can only accommodate two medium-sized ships at a time.

After receiving the emperor's order, Tan County stopped all trade and stepped up the construction of large ships.

As a result, there are now three large ships parked between this tributaries, one after another heading east.

In other words, if these three large ships want to move, they can only follow the sea water to the East China Sea in Chaoxian.

There is no turning back.

Prince Rong took Prince An to inspect the ships, and Jiang Yue stayed in the county government office with Concubine Liang and others.

During dinner that evening, Concubine Liang mentioned, "Yue'er, Yaochi, after your third and fourth brothers return and discuss with His Majesty, they will decide how many days we will stay in Tan County and what means of transportation we will take to Chao County."

Yao Chi asked in confusion, "Mother, aren't we taking the carriage anymore? Are we going to take the boat instead?"

Concubine Liang nodded and put down her chopsticks, "Yes, your father had people notify Tan County and Chao County to build ships.

Now we have arrived in Tan County, and your two brothers went to the construction site to check on the situation in the afternoon.

If everything goes well, we will take a boat instead. Does Yueer get seasick?

Jiang Yue had never been on a boat in modern times, and she didn't know if she would get seasick, but she had seasickness medicine. At worst, she could just take the medicine and get through it. Anyway, she would get used to it after a while.

Besides, we will have to take a boat south in the future, so it is better to adapt in advance.

“Aunt, it’s okay, I’ve never been on a boat before and I don’t know if I can do it.

But I know how to make medicine, so I can make some seasickness medicine."

The three of them chatted about the details for a while.

During the day, Jiang Yue heard the eunuchs chatting downstairs, saying that there was not much food in the imperial warehouse.

Now more and more people from nearby areas are flocking to follow, and many people in the villages near Tan County have stayed in their hometowns to build ships.

The people all felt that their only chance of survival was to follow the emperor, so they were unwilling to leave on their own.

This resulted in the situation where food supplies were shrinking day by day. Concubine Liang went to see Emperor Mingde several times, but she always came back with a frown on her face.

It is said that Emperor Mingde has been unable to sleep or eat for several days because of the food issue, and has already sent people to capture forest animals and stockpile food.

They also plundered uninhabited villages and fields along the way.

In the hope of storing more food to supply the army and the people, his own daily food requirements were reduced again and again.

But these were just a drop in the bucket, as disasters continued to plague the northwest of Daxia.

There were not many fields in the east, and the crops grown were limited. When the people moved away, they wanted to take even a needle with them, and there was nothing to be found in the village.

Therefore, the team atmosphere has been rather low recently. Now that we have arrived in Tan County, we have no choice but to take a boat into the sea.

At least they could fish on the sea. Even without food, they still had various kinds of fish to support them to reach the south.

Jiang Yue saw this and felt that her chance had come.

At night, he put on the cooling suit again, put on some old makeup, ran into the Tan County granary under the cover of darkness, and released a full 100 tons of grain from the northeastern granary in the space.

Varieties include white rice, brown rice, corn, white flour, millet, and sweet potatoes.

The granary in Tan County is quite large, but it holds even more grain. Until the granary can no longer hold it, sacks of grain are piled up outside.

After doing all this, Jiang Yue entered the space, changed his clothes, and showed his head. Seeing that someone had discovered the abnormality of the granary and rushed to check, he quickly slipped away.

When Emperor Mingde received the news, he was lying exhausted on Concubine Liang's legs, and Concubine Liang was personally massaging his temples.

The emperor was troubled by the famine for several consecutive months and his sense of responsibility towards the people. Now the weather was still hot and he received news from the secret guards.

The entire northwest has fallen, not because of an attack by foreign armies, but because of natural disasters.

He now had only one thought in mind, which was to lead his people to find a place without natural disasters and hunger, to recuperate and revitalize Daxia!

After receiving the news from Prince Rong, Emperor Mingde stood up in disbelief. The sudden darkness made his eyes go dark and his body swayed unsteadily.

Concubine Liang quickly supported Emperor Mingde, who couldn't believe his ears.

"Prince Rong, what did you say? The granary in Tan County had two thousand more dan of grain overnight?!"

Looking at the excitement that could not be concealed on the faces of his father and mother, Prince Rong still feels that the scene when the guards came to report to him that there was movement in the granary and he rushed there to see the mountains of grain was like a dream!

He immediately knelt down and said, "Father, I have confirmed that the granary in Tan County has not harvested a single grain this year. The granary is completely empty and no one is guarding it anymore."

But in the middle of the night, patrolling guards heard a noise coming from the granary, and those who went to check said that the granary was full of grain and could not hold it any more!

Concubine Liang turned to look at Emperor Mingde, and there was joy in both of their eyes!

It’s the gods who came to rescue them!

Emperor Mingde hurried to the side room, which turned out to be a small study. Since he knew the existence of immortals, he had bestowed water on them.

Emperor Mingde built a shrine next door to burn incense to the gods.

There was now a bowl of cold instant noodles, frozen pears, strawberries, and watermelons on the table, and the kerosene lamps usually used on both sides were replaced with scented candles given by Jiang Yue.

Emperor Mingde reverently took three incense sticks, lit them, bowed three times respectfully, and inserted them into the furnace.
