Chapter 54 Prepared

Holding a brush and writing on the rice paper: "Dried green onion, ginger, white pepper, licorice, dates, honeysuckle, Huanglian, Banlangen..." I looked at it carefully twice and nodded with satisfaction to confirm that it was correct. From beginning to end, Xia Ruoyan was watching quietly from the side. Xia Ruoyan took over the paper, and the city is a font that has never been seen before. Beautiful and dignified. People are like this, and this is true. She didn't know that this was created by the essence of many famous calligraphers in later generations. Unconsciously, it has reached the second update.

"Don't worry, it's late at night. I'm afraid that no shopkeeper will open the door. I will ask the two masters to handle this tomorrow morning. Go to bed early."

Xiao Ran nodded and had no reason to have a good impression on this woman at the moment of going out. If there is such an understanding woman to accompany, it is not worth it. However, he seemed to think of something and smiled helplessly. After Xiao Ran left, Xia Ruoyen's heart could not calm down for a long time. The sound of rain outside the window is like a beating in the heart.

Xia Ruoyan's face was sometimes soothing and sometimes tense. It's not like the chaos Xiao Ran saw at all: "How can the Yellow River break the dike? Didn't the court test it a few years ago? How did he know?"

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't know why he believed in this man he had not met so much. Is it because he saved himself now? How many secrets do you still hide? For a long time, there was a smile on the corners of his mouth and said to himself: Believe your intuition once.

The candlelight reflected her peerless face, and her green jade fingers gently stroked the golden token in her hand. This token was specially made for her by her father Zhenyuan General Xia Shuangtian. Not only the right to mobilize part of the army at any time, but also the right to temporarily take over a county. The three major families of the Tang Dynasty, the Wu family was in power, the Zheng family was in charge of money, and the Xia family was in charge of the army. Strength can be seen.

The next day, there was still heavy rain. The sky is gray. I can't tell whether it's day or night. The knee-deep rain accumulated on the road outside the inn. Water has been entered into the homes of villagers with lower terrain. Many people who couldn't make their way because of the rain began to complain.

"When will this damn weather be over!"

"I heard that the embankment in the north has begun to leak, and it will continue like this. I'm afraid it will be flooded. At that time, we won't know how many people will flee..."

Anyway, I can't get on my way, and many people get together to talk. One of the fat staff seems to smell the opportunity to make a fortune. While others are complaining. He quietly squeezed out of the crowd. He reached out and summoned the two servants and whispered a few words in their ears. The two immediately showed a sudden realization, and the eyes outside the fat man were a little more admirable.

The fat man said a few more words, "Do you remember it all? Don't mess up this for me, sir. I can't do without your benefits. The two nodded hurriedly and left. The fat man imagined that he had made a full bowl of money, and his smile was even stronger. The two took the accountant with a large handful of silver tickets, one went to the rice store and the other was in charge of the medicine store. According to the instructions of the fat man, as long as these two types of things are hoarded and the prices are raised at that time, can you not make money?

But how could Xiao Ran not think of what he could think of? When the two ran to the rice store and pharmacy, they knew that they had already been bought. The two were unwilling to run all the stores in the city and got the same answer.

In Xiao Ran's room, Kunlun's second old man sorted out the bills: "What you need is ready. I rented a warehouse in the west of the city for storage.

"The two masters have worked hard. You must be curious about the reason."

Qiu Li said, "It makes sense for Yaner to do things. We won't ask more." Xia Ruoyan thought about it and still didn't tell the truth. She didn't even believe it, let alone others.

Xiao Ran said, "Please also ask the princess to prepare some manpower, preferably a strong person. Ten carriages, a useful place to go tomorrow. When the second old man of Kunlun heard this, how could he not understand that it was Xiao Ran's idea.

Zhu Tianqi said, "What's the use of this? If you do it, it will be enough for the two of us.

Xiao Ran showed a mysterious smile and said, "Dig stones!"

If we talk about the acquisition of grain and herbs and medicinal materials, it is still within the scope of Xia Ruoyan's understanding. At this time, not only Kunlun, but also Xia Ruoyan couldn't figure out what Xiao Ran was thinking. Xiao Ran did not explain and said, "I will know tomorrow."

At the time of several people's discussion, the mouth of the Yellow River was already in a hurry. The water was getting higher and higher. At first, the villagers' officers and soldiers could still resist the earth bags. After a long time, the iron people could not stand so tired. As soon as the speed slows down, the water situation is even more fierce. Zhang Xuan looked at the dam that had begun to seep out and shouted, "The dam is leaking. Folks, go quickly."

As soon as the words came out, a few waves came. Many villagers who had no time to withdraw and were swallowed up by this angry beast and disappeared in the water. Zhang Xuan shouted, "Uncle Wang..." Tears came out of his eyes and was dragged to the safe boundary by several villagers next to him. Zhang Xuan shouted at the flood. The only thing that responded to him was the thunder and the torrential rain. Human life seemed so insignificant at this moment.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines into the inn through the window. The joy of the people living in the store hangs on their faces.

"Finally stopped, I have lost a lot of money these days."

" Come on, do you have a lot of losses in this batch of dry goods?"

.........

The person who was talking to suddenly stopped. Look at the entrance of the stairs together. Xia Ruoyan wears a purple skirt and is graceful. He walked down slowly downstairs side by side with Xiao Ran, and behind him was the unforgettable two elders of Kunlun, who looked quite funny.

"Has it stopped? Everything has just begun. In a few hours, most of the disaster victims will flood in, and it is time to prepare earlier. Xiao Ran said in his heart.

Several people did not stop and walked straight out of the inn. It was strange that there were still heavy rains a few days ago, but the sunshine of the matter was a little dazzling. But this failed to dispel the haze in Xiao Ran's heart: "I hope I guessed wrong."

"Two predecessors, can the manpower and carriage be ready?"

The second old man of Kunlun nodded gently and looked at the sun above his head. I guess it was almost there. Sure enough, the sound of horseshoes came from far and near the street. Four horses lined up in a row with carriages. There were more than 50 big men in the first carriage, and a man who led the team came down with scars on his face.

I saluted Xia Ruoyan: "I have met the lady in humble position."

Xia Ruoyan nodded and got into a carriage. A few people are signaling to follow. Xiao Ran immediately recognized the identity of these big men and explained the soldiers who went in and out of the battlefield. The special momentum on the body can't be learned by others. The man also looked at Xiao Ran in an instant, the soldier's consciousness.

Xiao Ran said, "Just follow this official road for five miles and turn left and bypass a small forest."

"It's done, drive!"

In the carriage, Xia Ruoyan said, "I really don't know what you're thinking."

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I've already said it's digging stones, but you don't believe it. You will know when you arrive."

Isn't the prince unable to reveal his identity? Why aren't you afraid now?

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "It has its own way. Both predecessors should know the art of change of appearance."

"Isn't that no one knows that you have done good deeds?" Perhaps Xia Ruoyan doesn't have much experience in the world, but she also knows that if it is really as Xiao Ran expected, it will change the lives of countless people. No matter who you are, you will be praised. At least the name of benevolence and righteousness is indispensable. Why do you want to push this good thing out? Are you really unwilling to show up? After a while, Xia Ruoyan seemed to understand something.

Ten miles is not far, just a cup of tea. After everyone got out of the car, except for the trees all over the mountain, it was a cover. We can't help looking at each other. Xiao Ran looked around for a moment and nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, there was not much difference. Xiao Ran began to prepare as early as last night. Prevention and control measures are indispensable to prevent the spread of the plague. Xiao Ran first thought of limestone. Not to mention the convenience of materials, it is better to save money without using medicinal herbs.

Although the effect is worse than that of burning licorice and cedar, it has a wider range of use. No one in the Tang Dynasty knew what lime was, let alone used it. I had to look for it myself, spent one night controlling a few pangolins, and finally found such a place with limestone.

The tools for digging limestone have long been ordered, and all the great men have a pair of hands. Xiao Ran pointed to a limestone and said, "Dig these white rocks into pieces and transport them back to the city by carriage."
