A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 101 Su Xiuxiu
Because he was standing out, a lot of rainwater hit his face and body.

But a smile finally appeared on Tang's father's face.

"It's raining, it's raining, that's great!"

"Yueyue was right after all."

Anhe County was under the jurisdiction of Cheng'an Prefecture, so Cheng'an Prefecture...

Since the timing of the rain is the same as Yueyue said, it must also be the same as Yueyue said, that it will rain for half a month.

At that time, the river will swell with heavy rains and breach its banks, eventually surrounding Cheng'an Prefecture. The prices of grain and medicine will skyrocket, and what about all that he's stockpiled...?

The price would have to increase five or ten times.

Upon thinking of this, Tang's father immediately became excited.

"Old Zhang, remember to continue collecting grain and medicinal herbs starting tomorrow. Don't stop," Tang's father instructed.

Now he feels that the food and medicine he had stockpiled were still too little.

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, remember to be careful and don't let anyone know."

"Yes."

Finally, Tang's father returned to his room and, accompanied by the pleasant sound of rain, fell into a deep sleep.

That night, he had a dream.

In the dream, the rain in Cheng'an Prefecture did indeed last for half a month, and the great river did indeed breach its banks, with the river water constantly surging outwards.

All around, there were cries and shouts from the people.

Even with skyrocketing food prices, people are still scrambling for food.

But even if grain is sold at a high price, there still isn't enough grain.

Although no plague came with the flood, more people got sick.

The price of medicinal herbs has also skyrocketed.

The medicinal herbs were also snapped up, but it still wasn't enough.

At this time, the grain and medicine that Tang's father had previously stockpiled finally came in handy.

They sold it for more than ten times the original price.

Tang's father's wealth also skyrocketed during this flood.

In the dream, Tang's father laughed heartily.
-
Just as Tang's father was dreaming of getting rich.

Meanwhile, in the Cheng'an Prefecture government office, Xia Ye, who lived there, was also awakened by the sound of rain in the middle of the night.

The weather turned cool after the rain.

Xia Ye, wearing an overcoat, looked at the torrential rain that seemed to have pierced the sky and was pouring down relentlessly.

"What His Majesty said has indeed come true."

The rain finally started at this time.

That would prove that the rain will continue for half a month, just as His Majesty said.

At that time, the river will also swell dramatically.

The dam is still under construction.

However, Xia Ye was confident.

This flood will definitely not happen.

The rain was still falling the next day.

It looks a bit smaller, but it doesn't seem to be stopping.

At the government office, the officials gathered together to discuss whether to stop construction on the dam and resume it once the rain stopped.

"No, continue construction."

“However, we must take good protective measures for the workers and double their wages!” Xia Ye said during their discussion.

"Sir, won't this increase wages significantly?"

"Yes, it's not too late to continue after the rain stops. This rain can't go on forever."

"Yes."

But Xia Ye insisted on his decision.

After all, only he knew that the rain would indeed continue for the next two weeks.

If this dam isn't repaired quickly now, there's still a possibility it could breach later.

Therefore, the construction of the dam is of utmost urgency.

"That's settled then. Increase the workers' wages and let them continue working."

"However, their safety must be ensured." "His Majesty will cover the cost."

"In addition, we must supervise the entire Cheng'an Prefecture to ensure proper drainage."

……

Xia Ye made the arrangements one by one.

Because Xia Ye was the imperial envoy and held the most power, even if other officials had objections, they still couldn't refute him.

They did exactly what Xia Ye told them to do.

Therefore, the drainage work for the entire Cheng'an Prefecture was launched that very day.

The prefectural government's orders were directly transmitted to the respective counties.

The county magistrates dared not delay and immediately took action.

After all, there is now an imperial envoy from the capital in Cheng'an Prefecture, who is said to be carrying an imperial sword.

How could they dare disobey? So, they did exactly what the imperial envoy told them to do.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

Tang's father also saw the county government officials working on the drainage problem.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

Looking at the rain that kept falling.

He knew that no matter how well the drainage was managed, if the dam broke, the floods would still occur.

Especially since Yueyue said that it was a once-in-a-century flood.

The workers building the dam initially thought the work would be suspended when they saw it raining.

Unexpectedly, news came from the government office.

If they want to continue construction, they will be paid double the wages, and their daily meals will be provided. They will also be given rain gear and ginger soup to drink every day.

This immediately delighted the workers.

Working in the rain is nothing to them.

You know, in the past, if it suddenly rained during the rice harvest, they would also cut the rice in the rain.

Therefore, working in the rain is nothing.

In particular, the government office also provided them with protective measures, including ginger soup to keep them warm.

Most importantly, the wages have increased.

That's doubled.

Originally, they came to build the dam because of her high wages.

Now, the wages are higher.

They were naturally even happier.

So they worked even harder in the rain, wishing the rain would last longer so they could earn more money.

Tang Xiyue has been married into Lijia Village for some time now.

During this time, Tang Xiyue had been working on Li Tian'ao's plan, trying to persuade him to join the uprising.

Li Tian'ao was also subtly swayed by her words.

They also had to consider themselves the chosen ones.

At this moment, Tang Xiyue looked at the rainwater falling continuously down the eaves, her eyes full of smiles.

The rain did indeed fall.

Exactly the same as in my past life.

Therefore, Li Tian'ao will become the founding emperor, just like in his previous life.

And she was the rightful empress!
Just as Tang Xiyue was standing under the eaves, thinking about this, she suddenly noticed a gaze seemingly falling on her.

She looked up and saw a figure, seemingly holding an umbrella, turn and leave.

And they left very quickly.

If Tang Xiyue hadn't seen her before, she probably wouldn't have remembered her at all.

But now, even though it was just a glimpse of her back, Tang Xiyue still recognized her.

Su Xiuxiu is the daughter of Li Tian'ao's aunt and also Li Tian'ao's cousin.

After marrying Li Tian'ao, Tang Xiyue met Li Tian'ao, her aunt who had married into the neighboring village, and his two sons and one daughter.

Su Xiuxiu was a pretty girl. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Su Xiuxiu, she was still quite good-looking in the countryside.

She had also heard that if her engagement with Li Tian'ao had been canceled, the Li family had planned for Li Tian'ao to marry Su Xiuxiu.
