Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Seeing Sheng Changan's serious expression, the woman realized something was wrong. The master seemed to be very concerned about this. She could only frown and recall carefully, "My father-in-law said that many people died at that time, and all the livestock were gone. Some people were even carried away by the wind."

It was a typhoon, it was really a typhoon, but how could it be possible? Sheng Changan still didn't give up. "Did the wind grow into a spiral?"

Seeing the woman's bewildered expression, Sheng Changan could only describe it in another way: "Was the wind very strong? Before it came, were there any abnormalities with the chickens and ducks at home? When did it happen?"

"I don't know about that. My father-in-law didn't say anything." The woman's tone slowed down.

"Where is your father-in-law?" Sheng Changan was a little anxious.

"My father-in-law died a long time ago." The woman did not dare to neglect it.

"I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Sheng Changan didn't dare to delay and hurried to the government office.

The women looked at each other, not understanding what was going on and why the adults were so nervous.

"Xiao Liu, why are there typhoons in this world? Is there a sea nearby?" Sheng Changan asked directly.

"Host, I don't know either."

Sheng Changan took a deep breath. It didn’t matter. Even if there was a typhoon, it was unlikely to happen this year, but she had never seen the sea nearby.

This world is so strange. It's located in the north, yet there is such a large forest. If there really is a sea, it is likely to be at the edge of this forest.

According to her memory, typhoons usually occur in summer and autumn. Although there are some in spring, they are not many. Judging from the existing facilities, it is completely impossible to withstand typhoons.

The only way is to promote red bricks on a large scale and use them to build houses. Perhaps it will be okay. Sheng Changan rubbed her forehead painfully. Even so, she could only barely take care of Guangping County. She was powerless to do anything about other places.

And judging by the terrain, Guangping County is so close to the forest, it is likely to be the hardest hit area. If a typhoon occurs, the Xianbei will definitely take advantage of the situation to loot.

Sheng Changan looked at the people guarding the county government office and ordered directly, "Call County Magistrate Wu, Lin Chuan, Shen Huaizhi, Li Hui, and Zhang Shi to come see me."

Seeing Sheng Changan's serious expression, he didn't dare to delay and directly asked a few people to look for people separately.

Sitting on the chair, Sheng Changan was still thinking. No matter what, they must ensure their strength. This place is located on a plain, so perhaps they can only dig tunnels. This may be the only way to do it.

After everyone arrived, Sheng Changan didn't plan to delay any longer. "Zhang Shi, have all the seeds been planted? How long will it take for the wheat to be harvested?"

"My lord, we have only planted a small portion of the sugarcane, and the other two crops have all been planted. There is about a month left for wheat." Zhang Shi, who had been working in the fields for a long time, became increasingly darker.

Sheng Changan frowned and knocked on the table. "If there is still room, take corn, sweet potato, and potato seeds from the warehouse and plant them. This part will be used as military food. The people who help with the planting will each be given a piece of land. We will only collect 10% tax on this piece of land. You will be responsible for this part, Lin Chuan."

"Also, I heard something today," Sheng Changan became serious. These people all came from the south, and it is very likely that they don't know what a typhoon is.

Several people probably knew that the sudden meeting at this time should be related to what the adults were talking about now.

"There was a typhoon in Guangping County about 20 or 30 years ago. Before it hit, animals would become restless, the sky would quickly darken, the wind would get stronger, and there would be thunderstorms."

Sheng Changan paused and said, "Once it officially appears, trees will be uprooted, houses will collapse, and people will be swept away."

The expressions of Wu Xiancheng and others gradually turned ugly. This level of situation was simply impossible to resist with human power.

"Generally speaking, it can happen from May to September. If it happens, it will be a disaster for us now. But since there is a typhoon, it means there must be an ocean nearby."

County Magistrate Wu was a little confused, "What is the sea?" They had never heard of it.

"It's like a lake, only hundreds of times larger, maybe even more. I suspect the sea is probably just behind this forest. Does anyone know how many counties are adjacent to it?"

Wu Xiancheng and others shook their heads and said, "About a dozen, but we haven't counted the exact number." It was too large. The court had sent people in before, but many people died, so they gave up later.

Sheng Changan sighed. "At the moment, we can only take precautions. Also, County Magistrate Wu, you will be fully responsible for the brick making. Speed ​​up the construction of the city wall. After it is completed, we will start building houses for all the people. We will provide bricks for free and let them build their own houses."

"Shen Huaizhi, Li Hui, I want to send you two to the Xianbei. I heard that they have kidnapped many women from our place. Please find out where they are and rescue them if you can. If not, we will find a way next time. Remember, don't force them." Although he wanted to save them, he did so in the interest of protecting himself.

"What's more important is that we can't let them find out that it's us. The city wall of Guangping County has not been built yet. Once we provoke a large-scale attack from them, it will be a disaster. So you are going there just to gather information," Sheng Changan reiterated.

Shen Huaizhi responded with a serious expression. Although the situation in Guangping County has improved a lot, the gap with the Xianbei is still too big.

"Later, I want to dig a tunnel in Guangping County. This tunnel must be breathable and can be used to hide when necessary. It can also store some food. This tunnel must be very hidden and can reach outside the city wall. It must be about three or four feet above the ground and cannot interfere with growing food in the fields."

This was the most appropriate method she could think of. "Dig a big hole at a certain distance and fix it with wooden boards. We can use it to fight against the Xianbei when necessary." Thanks to the developed network in her previous life.

"This part will be jointly handled by County Magistrate Wu and Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan, please tell Wang Yi to see if he can find out more information about the typhoon." It should be almost done this time.

After hearing what Sheng Changan said, Shen Huaizhi and Li Hui's eyes became brighter and brighter. This method is indeed good. It can be used for both offense and defense, especially when the enemy has a clear advantage.

"In addition, we accept refugees who have never eaten human flesh. This must be carefully examined." Sheng Chang'an's face was solemn. She could not tolerate such people becoming citizens of Guangping.

County Magistrate Wu and the others nodded their heads in agreement. They were not surprised by this, as the adults' attitude was very obvious.

"There's nothing else to do, just go down!" It was still early, and she could still look around.

Shen Huaizhi suddenly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I found a rabbit nest on the mountain and have caught all of them and brought them to the livestock farm."

Sheng Changan nodded and said, "If there are more of these in the future, leave some breeding rabbits and you can deal with the edible ones yourselves."
