The heavy rain washed the wooden planks and fell into the gap between the two boards, forming a waterfall.

Chishan stepped onto the planks, lowered his head, entered the barge, and knelt down.

Liangqu untied the ropes and pulled up the anchor: "Remember to go back and tell Songbao that when I come back, let him also come to the river and moor to work! Let's go!"

"Got it! Brother Shui, be safe!"

"Have a good trip!"

The two young men in the fishing pier took back the long gangplank on the barge and waved to the barge heading towards the rain curtain until only a blurred gray shadow remained on the barge.

The two hugged the gangplank, wiped the water stains on their faces, and looked around.

The waves hit the shore, and the fishing boats were piled up and squeezed.

All the teahouses around were closed.

From morning to noon, no fishermen went out or returned to the boat on the big lake.

"The waves on the river are so strong, I don't think we can catch any fish today. Let's go back and pack up our things, lest the flood really hits us."

"What are you afraid of? Huazhu County is separated from us by Jiangling County. If it can't flood over, it will at most submerge the original Chaojiang County. Besides, there is no need to worry about flooding if there is a lake! If there is a big swamp, the entire Black Water River will flood into it and there will be no sound!"

"That makes sense. Then you sit down and I'll go talk to Brother Songbao."

The young man carried the gangplank back to the fishing station without saying a word, and the other person hurriedly followed him after hearing that.

"Hey, let's go together! It rained heavily for a few days, and the fields at home were flooded. I have to go back to drain the water."

The two took down the fork pole, closed the doors and windows of the fishing station, locked the door, put on straw raincoats and hurriedly disappeared at the end of Qingshi Street.

Shangrao Port was completely deserted.

...

The barge left Yixing Town.

Catfish, crocodiles, two porpoise kings, and eight porpoises broke through the waves and surfaced.

Liang Qu stepped on the edge of the boat and threw down four water saddles.

The fat catfish could not move. The round-headed and scarred catfish aimed at the mouth of the saddle and got into the saddle.

He clamped the rope buckle with his fist to help tighten it, and then tied another rope around his waist. His eight-legged claws held the stern tightly.

The four beasts put on the water saddles and exerted their strength together, pulling the barge to break through the waves, gradually accelerating, and galloping on the water surface.

Raindrops hit the bow and turned into water foam.

Eight adult porpoises spread on both sides of the barge like wings, undulating continuously.

Looking at the entire Pingyang River Port, except for Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin, I am afraid that there is no other official with such underwater power.

Liang Qu sat in the boat and counted the items.

Weapons, compass, silver, official uniform, waist badge, water bag, emergency dry food, and document pages are all missing.

Turning over the pages again, the task content is listed in detail.

There are three top priorities.

First, save people and evacuate the people.

Second, find out the scope of the disaster and draw a map.

Third, find out why the hydrological station did not issue a timely warning and find out the specific reasons for the dike breach.

There are many types of floods, including rainstorm floods, snowmelt floods, ice floods, engineering failure floods...

The first three are natural disasters, while the latter are man-made disasters.

If it is really found to be an engineering failure, many people will undoubtedly lose their heads.

Such a major event will naturally not be a one-man show for Liang Qu, and Wei Lin must have sent people as well.

As a fast-footed forward general, Liang Qu is more responsible for collecting clues and waiting for Xu Yuelong and others to arrive and present them.

After clarifying the content of the task, Liang Qu opened two other books.

"General Study on Dike Construction" and "General Study on Dike Protection".

The spines are not thick, and they are all essence.

The content includes how to build temporary dams, settle disaster victims, rescue and rescue, harvest rice, etc.

"Harvest..."

Liang Qu thought of the situation in Huaiyin Prefecture, calculated the time again, and sighed silently.

This year is still good for other counties, but it is really a natural disaster year in Huazhu County.

The Ghost Mother Cult caused trouble, and most of the strong laborers died or fled. There was a flood in late August and early September...

The time for planting rice in the whole Huaiyin Prefecture is almost the same.

The only problem is that it is not popular to grow double-season rice in Huaiyin Prefecture!

The yield of rice is higher than that of wheat.

Even if the field is full of wild oats and barnyard grass, the harvest of rice is greater than that of wheat.

But it has disadvantages. Double-season rice consumes a lot of soil fertility!

The Jianghuai area is neither south nor north, stuck in the middle, and the soil fertility is not as exaggerated as in the south.

After planting double-season rice for a few years, only weeds can grow in the field.

The local people are not fools, so they naturally choose rice and wheat rotation.

As a result, in order to prevent the land from being idle and abandoned, the rice and wheat planting period will be moved back two to three months compared to planting double-season rice!

It doesn't matter at ordinary times, but it is very deadly now.

When planting double-season rice, early rice is basically harvested in July and late rice is harvested in October. Now in August, planting double-season rice can still guarantee a round of harvest for emergency response, especially after the disaster, it is a key life-saving food!

Rice and wheat rotation requires summer planting and autumn harvest! June to November is the rice growing season. After the rice is harvested, wheat or rapeseed is planted to overwinter, and some vegetables are planted in spring.

Mid-to-late August is right in the middle of the rice planting period.

The first round of crops can't be harvested at all, and the rice has not bloomed at all.

When the flood is over, planting wheat is not a problem, but no matter what crop, it takes time from planting to harvesting!

It's not a few days or half a month, or a few days of hunger, but it takes four or five months, five or six months!

This year, Huazhu County will have no harvest, and it will take the next year to harvest a round of wheat.

The surrounding counties had already supported the Ghost Mother Cult once before, and they would definitely not be happy if it happened again.

"Not necessarily..."

Liang Qu thought about it.

Mid-to-late August is exactly the transitional stage from the rice development stage to the booting stage. It is the period when the aboveground growth is the most vigorous and the physiological water demand is the most.

Being flooded in a short period of time is not a big problem. Those that grow quickly and enter the booting stage can last for one day, and those that grow slower and are in the development stage can last longer, six to seven days.

It is basically impossible to save those in the booting stage. Liang Qu is now transformed into Wu Zhiqi, and it is too late for the flood to drive them away. But those who grow slowly and are still in the development stage can be saved with good luck.

It's just...difficult.

The flood does not last for ten days and a half, so it is difficult for it to recede naturally.

Liang Qu's thoughts were wandering. As a young Du Shui Lang, he didn't know how to solve the current situation.

He closed the book and communicated with Ze Ding.

[Ding Master: Liang Qu]

[Refining Zeling: Zetamaru (green) (fusion degree: 38.6%)]

[Zeling Favors: The Second Level of Martial Arts and Spirituality (Emperor of Sichuan); Yinglong Pattern: 1st Level; Tianwu: 1st Level]

[Talent Skills: Water Leap, Water Breathing, Water Prison, Ride the Waves, Deterrence, Vortex Aperture]

[Mizusawa Essence: Three thousand four hundred and sixty-five points]

[River favor: 1.0001]

The strength of Ben Ma's five orifices, the refining degree of Ze Tao is nearly 40%, and the degree of favor is enough.

The amount of water that Liangqu can control is more than 16,000 tons, which has increased compared to the previous 12,000 tons.

However, for the entire Blackwater River, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Liang Qu was not a saint, but when he saw the people in a county suffering from hunger, he tried his best to do something.

"Wuzhiqi, Wuzhiqi, how could you be trapped by the flood?"

Liang Qu closed the book, and with a thought, he poured all the remaining 3,400 points of water essence into himself.
