Before the old man could enter the gate of the Grand Governor's Office, another team of cavalry also escorted a carriage back, and an old man got off the carriage.

The two old men just nodded when they met, and then they walked into the Grand Governor's Mansion with a serious expression under the guidance of the attendant.

As time went by, all the cavalrymen went out came back, and each pair escorted a carriage, and each carriage was filled with one or two old men.

When familiar people see these old men, they will understand that these old men are the most knowledgeable and most famous sages within Zhao Hu's sphere of influence.

"I've seen the Grand Governor."

Several old men saluted Zhao Hu casually.

But despite their unruly manners, these old men are actually very satisfied with Zhao Hu.

Because Zhao Hu was very respectful and courteous to the sages, and even issued a special order to fix the treatment of the sages in the form of local laws. Even in the era of imperial unification, there was no such superior treatment. Therefore, the sages within Zhao Hu's sphere of influence all agreed with Zhao Hu's rule.

Without much politeness, Zhao Hu asked them to sit down and asked directly: "This time I invite all the wise men to come here, because I want to use your profound knowledge to understand the situation of God's punishment."

After the change of the sky, Zhao Hu only regarded it as an ordinary disaster such as storm and rain. He only sent people to patrol various places and ordered people to organize people to survive the disaster.

But not long after the order was issued, several sages came to warn that this was a sign that the huge disaster "God's Condemnation" was about to be formed.

Zhao Hu, who knew nothing about the punishment of heaven, saw that the sages were so terrifying, and he couldn't help but summon these great sages to find out.

Several old men looked at each other and entrusted the oldest sage and said, "Grandmaster, such a huge disaster as God's punishment first occurred in the winter more than 1,500 years ago, and the second time was in the summer more than 780 years ago. If this spring was indeed God's punishment, then it can be confirmed that the day when God's punishment appeared was uncountable."

The old man also knew which sentence before was equal to nonsense, so he hurriedly introduced: "The origin of this heavenly condemnation is at the end of the world. At the beginning, the black clouds covering the sky and the earth rolled from the other side of the sea to cover the whole world. Then the storm and storm and hail swept across the world. At the same time, tornadoes will appear in any area in the world at any time.

"A tornado happens at any time?"

Zhao Hu was a little stunned. Although he didn't know how the tornado was formed, it was not as frequent as it rained, right?

"Yes, it's just that there is no sign and it appears irregularly anytime and anywhere, and there is a tornado in the valley. Of course, this is the situation that happened two times before. I can't guarantee that this is the case this time." The old man nodded and said.

"Well, from what you mean, when the heavenly punishment appears, the disasters that the whole world suffer are the same?" Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the disasters I suffered in the first period were the same, all of them were storms and tornadoes, but in colder places, the rainstorm would turn into a blizzard."

"How long will this condemnation last? What consequences will it bring?"

Several sages changed their expressions when they heard this. The old sage sighed and said, "The storm and tornado will last for seven days."

Zhao Hu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The seven-day disaster should be able to bear.

But the words from the sage changed the faces of everyone who heard them.

"There are three consecutive months of continuous rain, with mountain torrents and floods everywhere emerging one after another, but these are nothing. Just think about it, it's rainy for three months, and people can't use dry firewood to keep warm. At that time, the disease will grow, and..."

The old man said this, and Zhou Wen, who was serving the side, was already exclaiming: "For three consecutive months of rainy weather, wouldn't that mean that the crops will be out of stock this year!"

The sage nodded and sighed, "Yes, this weather that lasts for three months will make this year's food production, and it's not like this in one place, but in the whole world."

"At the same time, due to food shortage and disease rage, irrepressible unrest will break out in various places. According to records, the first two outbreaks of heavenly punishment will reduce the lives of the whole world by one third. Because of this, the huge disaster that affects the whole world will be called "heavenly punishment."

Zhao Hu felt a chill rising from his backbone, and the whole world's life was one-third dead? That is to say, one per three people died!

Even a death battle of millions or a war of destruction of a country, not so many people died!

However, Zhao Hu did not doubt that the sages exaggerated their words.

A very simple truth is that the rainy weather for three months, especially during the spring plowing season, can be said that you don’t need to consider growing grain this year.

Then it was such a long rainy day. Even if there was food storage and so long, there was not so much dry firewood to make fire and cook or keep warm.

Moreover, on continuous rainy days, the outbreak of the disease will increase and the difficulty of treatment will also increase.

Under the blow of these hardships, some people will accept their fate and wait for death, but most people will not give up on struggle, so unrest will definitely happen.

In such a situation where death is no matter what, such unrest is difficult to suppress.

Especially when the whole world is like this, not just one place or two places, by then one third of the life will be considered to be less dead.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu suddenly stood up and ordered: "Appoint the First Division to launch an attack in the rain. It must break through Haiping Province in the shortest time and confiscate the food of all warlords and their supporters in the province."

Of course, the sage knew why Zhao Hu issued this order. Haiping Province is a major grain province. The most inventory of local warlords and wealthy families was food. After robbing this batch of grain, the people in Zhao Hu's territory were enough to survive this disaster.

Although this will cause many tragedies, isn’t it because of the people’s food? The unlucky ones are just the wealthy families, so the wise men expressed their approval.

It is not for the wise men to be so realistic. Although they are sad about the heroes, they are also great sages in Zhao Hu's land. If they want the heroes, they will first impress the local people and then the people from other places.

"Sages, I will call on the supervisors of various departments to discuss how to overcome this disaster."

After explaining to the wise men, Zhao Hu sent someone to summon the competent officials to discuss, while the wise men nodded in satisfaction. Zhao Hu was really too proud of them and was even more satisfied with Zhao Hu.

Although Zhou Wen was happy to receive the news from the port, he could easily solve the two provinces of Haiguang and Haiwu, but Zhou Wen’s impression of the four ignorant fleet captains was not so good.

Haven't you seen my head busy with rainy weather that will last for more than three months? He dared to ask his head to come forward to surrender at such an important moment! It's really ignorant!

According to Zhou Wen's idea, he should detain them directly and teach them a lesson. However, considering that the Imperial Fleet still requires these four people to come forward, he ordered them to be entertained with delicious food and accommodation, and wait until the master is free to come and summon them.

The port is taking care of Jiang Yu and four others who are dressed in their own clothes. According to their ideas, the requests they put forward should be easily met.

If Zhao Hu heard that the four of them were willing to surrender to him, why didn’t he run over quickly?

But unexpectedly, the Grand Commander was dealing with the issue of disaster relief and prevention, and he didn't have time to come and let them follow the arrangements of the Third Fleet first.

As soon as this happened, Jiang Yu and others blushed at first, then sighed and expressed their willingness to settle down first.

There is no way, who can make me a fish? Besides, when a disaster comes, don’t you think about disaster relief and prevention first, but come to surrender first?

If you can still control the troops, of course you have to place yourself first, but now you are the commander alone, and a soldier can solve yourself. How can you care about it?

Alas, I hope Zhao Hu can give more face because he is still an imperial general.

The sky is so dark that it is hard to see the day and night. However, although the sun is blocked by the clouds, it still makes people feel a dim light.

The officials who had been busy all night braved the wind and rain and rushed to various places in such a dim vision, going to conduct a night of disaster relief and prevention work, and Zhao Hu finally had time to enjoy breakfast.

While having breakfast, Zhao Hu learned that the four major fleet commanders surrendered, and immediately became interested. He immediately asked someone to prepare a car and prepare to take the surrender himself.

Zhou Wen, who helped to get some luggage, said dissatisfiedly: "Master, they are all captured by us. If you want to see them, don't need this time? You haven't slept all night."

"It doesn't matter if you don't sleep all night, they are very important. With them, we can easily take over the two provinces of Haiwu, Haiguang. With these two wealthy provinces as foundations, it will be easier to survive this natural disaster." Zhao Hu said with a relaxed smile.

Zhou Wen thought about it and thought that the two provinces of Haiguang and Haiwu are very rich and have abundant supplies. With these two golden provinces, including Haiping Province, which produces a lot of grain, it is really easy to support the Zhaohu area of ​​the two provinces.

With the territory of five provinces and the ability to survive the disaster safely, after the disaster, wouldn’t anyone in the entire empire be able to compete?

At that time, will my own master sweep the world? Hehe, it will be so wonderful.

Zhao Hu didn't know what Zhou Wen was sniping, so he grabbed a sword and went out.

The cavalry who had been waiting outside the door for a long time immediately hugged Zhao Hu and rushed to the port pier.

At the port terminal, dense warships occupied almost all berths, while the same number of merchant ships had to squeeze together in grievance.
