You should know that not only the river materials are mainly wood, but the houses in Zhu Qizhen are also made of wooden structures. The ancient fire burning the city was not an isolated case, and it even became a means of war for many military and legalists.

Once the fire cannot be extinguished, the best way to deal with it is to dig out the isolation belt to prevent the fire from spreading. Hong Ying made a very correct decision at the critical moment.

Shi Jingnan flew all the way to the dock, and what she saw was still a huge fire. No matter how many people were carrying supplies to put out the fire, they noticed his arrival.

Hong Ying was running around and shouting at the top of her voice, and she didn't notice that Zhu Zhaohui had returned to Zhu Qizhen. It was not until Zhu Zhaohui grabbed his arm that he reacted and hurriedly bowed and said, "Goodbye to Qianxian."

"How is the fire?"

Zhu Zhaohui's face was extremely solemn. In addition to the fire in the dock warehouse in front of him, he even saw a lot of ships docked on the shore, burning with flames, almost bounded with the river.

"Reported to Qianxian, four material warehouses, three rice grain warehouses, and one cotton warehouse on the dock caught fire. In addition, five ships docked on the canal caught fire at the same time, and the officials are urgently evacuating personnel and supplies."

There are eight warehouses and five ships, which account for almost half of the warehouse capacity of Zhuqi Town, and the losses of various materials will not be less than 200,000 taels.

If Zhu Zhaohui had not placed a large number of refugees in Yanggu Town and transported a large number of supplies, the warehouse of Shi Jingnan Wharf was not in full state, he might have added another 100,000 taels to this number!

"How could such a big fire be ignited? What does the warehouse steward do to eat!"

Shi Jingnan felt angry in her heart, and the loss of money was secondary. Most of the Hegong materials were transported from Jiangnan area but it was hard to buy if they had money.

This batch was burned down, and the subsequent summer flood came. Where did so many materials come to reinforce the river embankment?

"The whereabouts of the Gun Man is unknown. I don't know if he was afraid of escaping or was buried in the fire."

"What about the warehouse service? Why can't we stop the fire from spreading?'

When Zhu Zhaohui planned the warehousing, he reserved a narrow enough fire barrier. As long as people could find more fires, they would never spread to such a point.

"The warehouse servants are also missing, and the workers of the dock described it as not that the fire spreads, but that several warehouses caught fire at the same time."
