The rolling turbid currents, the surging Yellow River, come from the sky and go to the sea...

Unstoppable along the way, Daming Prefecture, Enzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Cangzhou, none of the prefectures and counties along the way were spared. Thousands of villages and towns were involved in the torrent. I don’t know how many people died under the flood. Tens of times more than death were the people who lost their homes, who helped the elderly and the young, stood on high grounds, like an isolated island in the sea, anxiously waiting for rescue...

When Ouyang Xiu learned that the Yellow River broke its dam, he could not calm down. As the Changping Office, it was his duty to help the people. What's more, the areas that flooded this time were mostly on Hebei East Road, and Ouyang Xiu's burden was very, very heavy.

"I can only talk about the matter of promoting education in the future. I must arrange things to help the people." Ouyang Xiu was ready to leave without stopping for a moment.

Wang Ning'an hurriedly bowed, "The old man cares about the people, how can he not know the importance of his life? Although our Wang family is very powerful, he is willing to assist the old man in disaster relief. No matter whether it is people or money or food, there is no problem."

Ouyang Xiu nodded meaningfully, "Then I will replace the people of Hebei, thank you."

...

After leaving Ouyang Xiu's house, Wang Ning'an immediately rushed to Haifeng Restaurant. He instructed Xiang Hao and others to take out all the money on the books and use it to purchase grain. The more the better. Don't worry about the price, and fill the warehouse and cellars of the restaurant first.

"Young Master, it's good to make money by storing grain at this time, but it's not a bit like that..." Xiang Yang was worried.

"You want to say that hoarding is too immoral, right?" Wang Ning'an smiled in anger. "I haven't been able to make bad money yet. The food has arrived in our hands, restaurants, noodle shops, and teahouses. No matter how the price increases outside, we must sell food at a low price. If you dare to increase a penny, don't blame me for being rude!"

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

Wang Ning'an would not be blinded by the little liar in front of him and would be confused.

According to his memory, since the Shanghukou dam broke in the eighth year of Qingli, the Yellow River flooded in the following decades, and the losses caused were endless. The emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty were helpless in the face of the Yellow River. All the governance failed several times, which caused rounds of party struggles, using the matter of life and death of the people as a tool to deal with political enemies... Wang Ning'an has always despised the literati who was pampered and had a good life and good life. He was incompetent in governing the country, and all his skills were just one mouthful, which really made people look down on him...

With Wang Ning'an's status, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court.

The original Yellow River route entered the sea from the southern part of Cangzhou. After this time, the water flow concentrated in the northern part of Cangzhou, passed through the Baigou River, and entered the Bohai Sea.

From the south to the north, the entire Cangzhou is under the threat of floods. It can be foreseen that in the future, the floods in Cangzhou will continue, and the lives of the people will only be more difficult.

The Wang family is in the rising period and urgently needs all kinds of talents. The flood objectively provides the Wang family with an excellent opportunity to expand.

"Swap all the money we have in our hands for food, the more the better, don't waste pork, soybeans, and even bean cakes. If you are too hungry, you can save your life."

Wang Ning'an hurried back to Tuta Village. After discussing with his father, he immediately gave an order to save food. In the future, all the Wang family's troops were distributed according to the heads and no food was wasted. He also asked the men to go up the mountain to hunt, go down the river to fish, and pickle all the meat they got.

Furthermore, after the disaster, refugees will inevitably be everywhere. Wang Ning'an asked his troops to patrol each ten people and protect the safety of the village.

It has to be said that the measures were very timely, and the surrounding villages and towns were affected by refugees, but Tuta Village was safe and sound, and maintained an amazing peace in the chaos.

But no matter how it is, it cannot be compared with before.

Wang Ning'an can only be considered a teenager, one meal, two taels of rice and two thin pieces of bacon, and he can't eat enough. But the rules were set by him. Under the disaster, food is the most expensive, so you can't take the lead in fouling yourself!

He finished the meal in a hurry and did not dare to stop at the dining table, for fear of not being able to control his mouth. Not far away, Liang Dagang ran over mysteriously, his stomach was bulging, like a toad.

When he arrived in front of Wang Ning'an, he took out two hot pieces of soil from the old sheepskin coat and stuffed them to Wang Ning'an.

"Erlang, the meaning is done. You can't be hungry, otherwise everyone will point at whom!" Liang Dagang said honestly: "Two pheasants are roasted with mud, but you will teach me what you want to try the skills!"

Wang Ning'an felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but his stomach was not strong enough to scream.

Forget it, don't be in trouble with yourself!

"Thank you, Uncle Gang, I'd better go to the backyard to have a meal."

Holding two muds, Wang Ning'an quickly ran to the backyard martial arts field. He found a piece of tree stump and knocked the mud ball open. Suddenly, the heat came with a fragrance.

The fat and tender pheasant has the fragrance of pine oil, making people salivate.

He grabbed a chicken leg and started to chew it quickly. Not long after a while, most of the pheasant entered the stomach and burped comfortably.

Suddenly, Wang Ning'an remembered that there were two guests in the house! Although Yang Jiumei spoke, she could not really abuse the eldest son and the young princess of the Yang family.

When he arrived at the Xiqianyuan - specially prepared for Yang Huaiyu and Yang Xi. After saying hello, he put the beggar chicken on the table. Yang Huaiyu had never seen a ball of mud wrapped in mud, and his face was full of contempt. Even if he knocked it open, the fragrance was everywhere, and he was unwilling to eat it.

Yang Xi was very careless. She gave Wang Ning'an a lot of suggestions these days. The girl's thoughts are delicate, the plot and the warmth make several novels more plump and moving. After getting familiar with each other, Yang Xi's nature was revealed, and she grabbed the chicken legs and chewed hard. She was as virtuous as Wang Ning'an, staring at places with a lot of meat.

"Brother Yang Shi, no one expected that this kind of thing suddenly happened, and the Yellow River broke out, which was a big deal. It may not be handled in a few months or years. There are refugees everywhere, famines and plagues, and there are too many troubles. For your safety, it is better to go back to the capital first! I have asked someone to send a letter to the Yang Mansion, and they will arrange for someone to pick you up."

Yang Huaiyu refused to comment. Although he was not convinced by Wang Ning'an and wanted to regain his face, he was not stupid. Even if his martial arts skills were better than Wang Ning'an, he had many abilities, so much that he was desperate!

When you encounter a monster, the best way is to stay away from it. The more you compare it, the more likely it is to hurt your self-esteem.

Yang Xi was reluctant to leave. She helped Wang Ning'an to ponder the plot, which turned into a moving story. When it was published, countless people would follow the plot in the book, laughing, or crying... Yang Xi felt that this was a very wonderful job, just like a dream, it would be best not to wake up.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Wang Ning'an had to promise: "I will send you one copy before the novel is finalized in the future."

Yang Xi reluctantly accepted.

The messenger who delivered the letter went straight to the capital. Who knew that after he left for two days, Yang Jiumei hurried over, covered in dust, and looked tired and haggard.

Yang Xi hugged the aunt and said with a heartache: "I let the old man suffer for us. I must have received the letter and come quickly. It's so fast... it's not right!" Yang Xi was a little confused, but he knew that in two days, he couldn't even get through the capital. How could Yang Jiumei come!

"Mr. Gu, are you doing something?"

Yang Jiumei suddenly sighed heavily, "Where is Wang Erlang?"

Soon, Wang Ning'an was called over and Yang Huaiyu also rushed from the martial arts venue. Before he could say a word, Yang Jiumei pulled Wang Ning'an into the study, making Yang Huaiyu look like an outsider, not to mention being too embarrassed.

...

"Ning'an, something happened."

Yang Jiumei went straight to the point. She returned to the capital and told Lao Madam Zhe about the situation of the Wang family. The old lady lived to be over 100 years old and was simply a lucky person. She was not confused at all.

She told her daughter that the Wang family's accumulation was extraordinary. The nectar of the Yaochi was the business of His Majesty's partnership, and the horse farm was something that His Majesty valued. A general could be related to the emperor, from three to five years to ten to eight years, and would definitely make a fortune. It is rare that the Yang family and the Wang family had a passion. When they soared into the sky, they might not be able to respect the Yang family, so they should place bets as soon as possible.

Yang Jiumei became even more enlightened. She immediately took 30 soldiers of various kinds and 80 grooms, left the capital and headed to Cangzhou as fast as possible.
