I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Long Bin's repeated emphasis made the two men nervous, especially Ji Fangkui, a farmer's son from the polder area, who knew all too well what a flood was.

Since last autumn, Long Bin discovered through the time-travel system that on this day in history, a major disaster would strike the Yellow River and Huai River regions this June. He immediately took emergency measures.

Last year was a bumper harvest year in his jurisdiction, especially in the Huanghuai region, which was a rare year in history with neither disasters nor floods.

In order to cope with this year's major disaster, Long Bin purchased all the surplus grain from the people and stored it in the warehouse. He also purchased a lot of grain from various southern countries.

To prevent a major disaster this year, he consolidated his foundation early on.

Although the officials did not understand or believe that he had the ability to foresee the future, they respected his decisions.

Long Bin set up six grain depots in his jurisdiction and mobilized 80,000 troops to guard them.

In the vast Huanghuai wheat-growing region, waves of wheat ripple as the military and civilians work together to seize the summer harvest.

Upon hearing the news, Long Guobiao took the initiative to send 10,000 troops to guard the north bank of the Yellow River for the Long family army.

“This year will definitely be a bumper harvest,” said the villager Duan excitedly. “Our lord is truly a remarkable man of all time, a wise and virtuous ruler who brings blessings to mankind.”

Long Bin showed no smugness and asked in a deep voice, "Have Grandpa Wei's family been settled in?"

"Lord Song made the arrangements personally, and Lord Wei has already gone to His Majesty's side." Long Bin nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Suddenly, the villager Duan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty and beg for severe punishment."

Long Bin paused for a moment, then choked up and said, "My brother Wang's death has nothing to do with you. He didn't listen to me; he was atoning for the mistakes he made decades ago and was voluntarily asking for death."

Long Bin gritted his teeth and roared, "I will make Long Yunxi pay for this a hundredfold!"

Duan, a villager, said: "My lord, behind Long Yunwu are the figures of Wang Xuezhong and Wang Wucun."

"Oh?"

Wang Wucun is Hua Lingchun, one of the left and right protectors of the Heavenly Dao Society. Since Long Yunwu and Xiao Ruoying have been colluding for many years, it is not surprising that he is involved with Hua Lingchun.

But how could Wang Xuezhong...?

My cousin Qin Ningtian told me about Wang Xuezhong's time in the mental hospital, and that my cousin had even saved him.

Could Wang Xuezhong also be a member of the Heavenly Way Society?

If that's the case, what was he doing in the mental hospital?

A bitter plot?

After thinking it over and over but not getting anywhere, I simply stopped thinking about it.

I've been so busy since I came to Lishui that I completely forgot about my mortal enemy, Hua Lingchun.

Hua Lingchun? Wang Wucun?

I'll kill you when I get back to Lika!

In the blink of an eye, the wheat harvest in the Huanghuai region is complete. The weather has been great these past few days, and many families have dried their wheat.

Long Bin took Xiao Rong to visit many places in the countryside. Seeing the farmers' joyful smiles, Long Bin and his wife also smiled.

Looking at her happy husband, Xiao Rong felt a warm glow in her heart.

However, at this moment, Lü Yong sent a message by carrier pigeon: the wheat harvest in more than a dozen villages, including Daliu in the Yellow River flood area, was only halfway done, and local officials rarely went to the countryside. Without the strong promotion of the soldiers, the progress might be even worse.

Long Bin looked up at the sky and asked Ji Fangkui beside him in a deep voice, "Which county is Daliu Village mentioned in the letter?"

“The magistrate of Donghun County, Zheng Dacheng, is 50 years old this year,” Ji Fangkui said. “This place is very poor, and the people are fierce.”

"Go to Donghun and work overtime to rush the harvest, while also investigating the cause of the problem. If the county government fails to implement the order effectively, dismiss the magistrate and issue a warning to the prefect. If you disagree, I allow you to act first and report later!"

Ji Fangkui was greatly shocked upon hearing this: "My lord, this..." Long Bin said angrily, "We are racing against time with the heavens, do you understand? This is like fighting a war; if we don't advance, we retreat, and if we don't advance, we may be wiped out. In this special period, we must use severe measures!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

When Ji Fangkui arrived in Donghun County, he found that the county magistrate was holding a grand banquet at home to marry his eleventh concubine.

"No wonder no one is paying attention to the wheat harvest?"

In a fit of rage, Ji Fangkui beheaded Zheng Dacheng and his six sons, dismissed all the officials present, appointed his deputy Zhu Lin as prefect, abolished Donghun County, and divided its territory among five surrounding counties.

Unexpected events can happen at any time of night; the stars were shining brightly at night, but suddenly a violent storm broke out in the middle of the night.

This rain lasted for half a month.

Looking at the white waves of the inner embankment and the surging Yellow River, the officials and people of the Yellow River region finally realized the wisdom and greatness of the Southern King.

Apart from the former Donghun County, the people in the Huanghuai region were basically unaffected by this rain.

More than 20 days of heavy rain caused the Yellow River and Huai River to flood the dikes several times, but the floods were overcome each time by the joint efforts of the military and civilians.

"If it were my previous life, with electric irrigation, the fertile fields inside the embankment wouldn't have been flooded," Long Bin sighed helplessly.

Millions of people and 200,000 soldiers in the Huanghuai region are fighting against the raging storms and floods. The flood control and rescue efforts are in full swing, but little did they know that a storm was quietly brewing against him in the Golden Palace of the capital.

Long Yunxi, the imposter king, sees Long Bin as a thorn in his side and is determined to get rid of him.

In the Golden Palace of Kyoto, the fake king Long Yunxi laughed heartily: "This is God helping me."

Long Yunxi felt this was the perfect opportunity for him to eliminate the real king, Long Yunfu, and his son, the Southern King, Long Bin.

After all, he himself was an imposter, a fake king. Keeping the real one out there was never a good thing; it was a huge hidden danger.

Therefore, he issued several imperial edicts, one of which was to strip Long Bin of his title of Prince of the South and his fiefdom.

They also issued a proclamation denouncing Long Bin for impersonating an imperial edict and proclaiming himself a "King of One Word."

Immediately afterwards, the emperor personally led an army of 300,000 men straight to the north bank of the Yellow River, intending to take advantage of the flood to annihilate the Long family army.

The backyard of Canglong Temple in Songshan Gorge.

Lan Tianpeng reported on Long Yunxi's activities.

Wei Zhong said anxiously, "The Prince of Nan is currently busy fighting the floods and is unable to spare any attention. It is truly despicable that Long Yunxi chose this moment to launch his attack!"

"He really thinks he's the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Long Yunfu stroked his long beard, his gaze deep: "Long Yunxi's move is undoubtedly an attempt to take advantage of Long Bin's preoccupation with other matters and eliminate my father and me in one fell swoop. He thinks that with 300,000 troops pressing in with overwhelming force, Long Bin will be helpless."

Lan Tianpeng added, "Long Yunxi also stripped Long Bin of his title of Prince of the South and his fiefdom, and issued a proclamation denouncing him for forging an imperial edict. As a result, Long Bin's reputation and influence among the people will inevitably be damaged."

Wei Zhong gritted his teeth: "This Long Yunxi is extremely cunning. By doing this, he not only weakened Long Bin's strength, but also found a reasonable excuse for himself to go on the expedition."

"Your Majesty, we must find a way to support the Prince of Nan; we cannot let him fight alone."

Lan Tianpeng said, "Your subject is willing to go to the Huanghuai region to lend a helping hand to the King of the South."

Long Yunfu shook his head: "You are not going to Jiu'er's place, but to Jin Dong. Let Long Guobiao personally lead 50,000 troops northward to attack the capital. As long as Long Guobiao captures several cities in southwestern Hebei, the crisis in Huanghuai will be resolved."
