Chapter 634: Chapter 633: Start of Spring

Longzhou Calendar, 1781, early January, The Beginning of Spring

The Beginning of Spring marks the commencement of seasons, the revival of all things, the awakening of hibernating animals and the springing up of vegetation.

To the people in the western Longzhou, the coldest winter had finally passed. However, it was not the onset of a vibrant spring, but rather, a time of greater death as spring approached.

An unexpected flood during the autumn harvest had turned western Longzhou into a vast swamp. Even powerful clans couldn’t harvest their crops while also fleeing the disaster. The flooding of the plains meant that there were no crops to plant, no food to harvest, not only for the commoners, but for the noble families as well. They could only rely on their stockpiled grain.

Throughout the flood, the starving noble families occupying the high grounds revealed their most savage sides, turning the entire western region into a purgatory where water and fire intersect.

Powerful clans seized lands, prestigious families submitted to them, smaller families lost everything, and the lives of common people became as cheap as dirt.

The strong became stronger, the weak became weaker. In a city of millions, it would be a miracle if two-thirds of the population survived the massive flood. And at least half of those survivors would die in the subsequent famine.

Violence and struggle became the main theme of the natural disaster. Only the noble families of each city, sitting in the clouds, watched the purgatory below with smiling faces, holding their wine cups.

Starting from the upper reaches of the Lingjiang river, there were ten major cities: Zhangtong City, Fuling City, Lanshan City, Xiling City, Clearwater County, Shen Ping City, Qutang City, Andong City, Boma City, and Jiejiang City.
