Chapter 137

Looking at the situation, Gu Yufei turned out to be the most favored among the six beauties.

After all, Gu Yufei was from a noble family, and she was the first daughter of the family. Originally, the regent and General Liu thought that she would rather die than submit, but they didn't expect her to behave better than those commoner girls, and she accepted it even faster.

At this time, Gu Yufei was leaning on the regent's chest, allowing the regent's hands to wreak havoc on her body, but her two long legs that were looming were resting on the legs of General Liu who was sitting cross-legged.

She took a small bunch of grapes from the small table next to her, picked one, peeled it, and stuffed it into the mouth of Prince Regent Qin Wei.

Qin Wei ate the sweet and sour grape in one gulp, and said to Luo Chu, who looked like a monk after seeing this scene, "Mr. Luo, when do you think the next plan should be implemented?"

Luo Chu said lightly: "Go back to the prince, I think it's better to wait a few more days."

Hearing what Luo Chu said, General Liu drank the fine wine in the cup in one gulp, and put the wine glass heavily on the small table, "Waiting at this time? Luo Chu, do you know how long the prince has been waiting for this day?" !"

Luo Chu did not argue with General Liu, but turned to look at the regent beside him, whose eyes slowly darkened.

The regent squeezed the soft and warm flesh in his hands hard, causing Gu Yufei to cry out in pain, before he said coldly: "Don't wait, follow the plan!"

Luo Chu had already guessed that Qin Wei would not listen to him when he reached this point. He lowered his head and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He did not continue to oppose Qin Wei's decision, but expressed his submission with silence.

It was raining non-stop, and even the lotus pond in the backyard garden of the Princess's mansion was already full.

If it hadn't been for the water channel reserved for the garden in advance, and Lu Zhou had brought people to clear the water channel that had not been used for a long time in the rain, the garden of the princess's mansion might have been flooded.

Lu Da took his men and Tang Meng back until the next morning.

That night, the rain in the entire capital city never stopped. In the morning, the sky was gray and the rain was even heavier than yesterday, as if God was using a basin to pour water from the sky to the ground.

When Lu Da, Tang Meng and others returned home, there was not a single dry spot on their bodies.

Before I changed into clean clothes, I came to report to Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye.

After it rained and the weather was cold, the two of them ran outside for a day and a night, and couldn't help shaking when they entered the house. Qin Shuhuang asked Ruihe and his maid to bring two braziers and put them in front of Lu Da and Tang Meng.

Roasting on the fire, the two of them felt better, their bodies gradually regained their temperature, and they no longer trembled uncontrollably.

"How is the situation in the suburbs of Beijing?" Qin Shuhuang asked anxiously.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Da said, "Returning to Your Highness, it's not good. Almost half of the east of the suburbs of Beijing were flooded, and Anping County and the four surrounding counties were all submerged. The disaster was serious. If the rain continues like this, it may be that the downstream Lincheng will be affected."

At present, it is known that the affected areas are mainly in the east of the suburbs of Beijing, where most of the properties are owned by ordinary people, and most of the properties of the noble families are in the west of the suburbs of Beijing, but they have not been affected much.

Although Qin Shuhuang's hot spring village is also on the east side of the outskirts of Beijing, the terrain there is high and it is still safe for now.

Qin Shuhuang's face was gloomy, and the situation was more serious than she expected.

She asked coldly: "Where is Changqing Temple?"

Tang Meng said bitterly: "Changqing Temple is halfway up Changqing Mountain, and the flood has not affected it."

"What about the people?"

"When my subordinates took people to check yesterday, they notified the head of the affected village along the way. Presumably they will temporarily gather the people to save themselves. So far, not many lives have been lost due to the flood, but the flood continues to spread like this. , I'm afraid it's not good, when the time comes, countless refugees will gather around the capital!" Lu Da said.

While Qin Shuhuang was talking to Luda Tangmeng, a guard from outside hurried in.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Da turned his head to look at the guard who was drenched and rushed to the front, frowned and said: "Qi Liu, why are you back? I didn't ask you to stay there to check the situation and come back at night ?"

The personal guard under the name of Lu Da immediately knelt on one knee and cupped his hands, panting violently: "Your Highness, prince, captain, it's not good, the southern suburbs of Beijing have also encountered floods!"

Everyone was shocked!

There is Anjiang in the south of the suburbs of Beijing, and Shuangsong Lake and Jinghui Lake in the upper reaches of Anjiang. These two large lakes are never full.

Last year, the Ministry of Household Affairs also allocated money to build and strengthen the embankment.

Since the founding of the Dawu Dynasty, there have been no floods in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

In the 11th year of Emperor Taizu, there was heavy rain in the capital for ten days and ten nights. In this way, the south of the capital was not flooded.

But such Jingnan suddenly suffered from floods!

Although the rain has been heavy in the past few days, it is not enough to cause floods in southern Jingnan!

Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye glanced at each other.

Xie Xuanye said seriously: "I will go back to the palace to make arrangements to find out if there is anything fishy about the flood."

Xie Xuanye left quickly.

Qin Shuhuang asked Rui Miao to arrange for Lu Da, Tang Meng and others to rest, and then called Ye Xuan, Aunt Su, and several stewards who had bought food before.

When arranging the grain storage warehouses before, Qin Shuhuang arranged all the warehouses in high-lying places, and now she has to send the stewards to take care of the warehouses with their own hands to avoid any accidents.

After the stewards left with some of their personal guards, Rui He couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, do you want to rescue me?"

Qin Shuhuang shook her head, "It's not time. Call Lu Zhou!"

Lu Zhou came in front of Qin Shuhuang, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Steward Lu, send someone to monitor the prices of rice, grain and vegetables in the eastern and western markets, and report to the palace every morning and evening."

"Yes!"

Steward Lu took the order and set off for Dongshi with the servant in charge.

The price of rice in the East Market is a bit more expensive, and they are all shops of big merchants, and most of the patrons are stewards and servants of various noble and wealthy families. The quantity of each purchase is also large, but the quality of various products is generally better than that of the West Market. More than ten percent.

The West Market is more lively than the East Market. Most of the sellers and buyers are ordinary people. There are more types of goods than the East Market, but the quantity is not as stable as the East Market.

Merchants are the most sensitive group of people.

In just a few days of heavy rain, the food in Dongshi has increased by [-]%.

If the rain continues, it is not impossible for food prices to double!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of coming to Dongshi, Lu Zhou hurriedly ordered the steward and the servants to quickly buy some commonly used food and food such as grain, meat, vegetables, and wine.

When they arrived at the grain shop, Lu Zhou found that they had no chance at all. There was already a long queue in front of the grain shop, all of them were stewards and servants from big families.

Lu Zhou sighed and withdrew his staff, thinking that His Royal Highness the Princess had asked him to store food and supplies in advance. He didn't know why at the time, but thinking about it now, His Highness really has a vision.

Since there is no shortage in the mansion, Lu Zhou will not join in the excitement.

Let people go to the major shops to ask the price and then rush to the West Market.

The situation in the West Market is even more exaggerated than in the East Market. As long as it is a shop selling grain, it will be crowded with people outside.

Many food stores have closed their doors because of the low stock, and put up signs saying they are closed.

Lu Zhou saw that the corn that was sold for ten cents a bucket on weekdays had risen to twenty cents a bucket!That's it, not everyone can buy it!

Lu Zhou was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive back to the princess mansion.

A few days ago, there were few people at the door of the hard-to-find "Chongqing Hot Pot"...
