I quietly became a big boss in the novice village

"Mingzhu, where have you been recently?"

Bu Fan shook his head and asked what Zhou Mingzhu was doing recently.

"Village Chief, I have something important to tell you!"

Zhou Mingzhu's face suddenly became serious.

"Oh? What's the matter, is something wrong?" Bu Fan was curious.

"That's right!"

Zhou Mingzhu nodded, "Village Chief, do you feel that there is something wrong with the weather in the past two years!"

Bu Fan subconsciously glanced at Xiao Manbao from the corner of his eye.

He remembered that Xiao Manbao said that there would be a drought in a few years.

"Something's wrong, what do you say? What did you find out?" Bu Fan asked pretending not to know.

Xiao Manbao lay in Zhou Mingzhu's arms, listening to their chat.

Of course, I still make complaints from time to time.

[Father scum is really stupid, the godmother said there was a problem with the weather, and asked stupidly what did you find? 】

Bu Fan: "..."

"Village chief, it's like this. Recently I went to several places in Fucheng. You know what I found. In many places, the water level of the river has dropped.

And, village chief, have you noticed that it rains a lot less this year than in previous years? "Zhou Mingzhu asked.

"Do you suspect there will be a drought?" Bu Fan frowned in thought.

"The village head is still smart!" Zhou Mingzhu nodded with a smile.

【I said so clearly, if the scumbag still doesn't understand, then there is a problem! 】

Bu Fan shook his head in his heart, and continued to ask:

"These are all your guesses, but this matter must be guarded against. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If it's not, it's okay. If it's true, then something big will happen!"

"Village Chief, you and I have thought together. Although the future is unpredictable, we can prevent it." Zhou Mingzhu nodded.

"Speaking of which, I found out about it, thanks to Xiao Manbao's words?" Zhou Mingzhu explained with a smile.

"Do you still want this?" Bu Fanxin said, as expected.

"Yeah, a few days ago, Xiao Manbao said that the weather is so hot, why it hasn't rained for so long, I paid attention to it at that time, and asked around in various counties, I didn't expect that I really discovered the way!"

Zhou Mingzhu smiled and touched Xiao Manbao's face.

Xiao Manbao blinked his big eyes, looking innocent and incomprehensible.

【Drought in the previous life killed many people】

[Even in the village, with the food prepared by the godmother in advance, life in the village is very difficult]

[Prepare in advance for this life, I hope it will be better]

Xiao Manbao sighed in his head.

I can't tell that this little girl still has a compassionate heart.

[However, relying on this matter, the godmother may be able to sit on the position of village chief. 】

Bu Fan: "..."

How filial!

……

The next day, Bu Fan asked Song Laizi to summon the chiefs and elders of the various clans in the village to the academy to discuss matters.

When these patriarchs and elders heard about the drought, they were in an uproar.

Regarding the drought, some elderly clans have always experienced it.

The last drought was more than 60 years ago.

I don't know how many people died of starvation at that time. In order to survive, they even gnawed on the bark and loess.

"Xiaofan, why do you think there will be a drought in two years?"

The old village chief Wang Changgui frowned.

It's not that he doesn't believe Bu Fan's words, but that although the weather is hot, it's not as bad as Bu Fan said.

How could there be a drought?

"Clan chiefs, clan elders, let Mingzhu talk about this matter!"

Bu Fan glanced at Zhou Mingzhu who was on the side, Zhou Mingzhu nodded, and then told the news she had found out, as well as her speculation.

After listening to Zhou Mingzhu's narration, the room was suddenly silent.

The patriarchs and elders were silent, some were smoking dry tobacco, and some were tapping their fingers on the tabletop.

"Although this matter is still just a guess, I think we still need to be sure in advance!" Bu Fan broke the silence first.

"I support the village chief on this matter!" Patriarch Zhou was the first to agree.

"That's right. After two years, there will be no so-called drought. That's a good thing. At most, we have stockpiled some food and water, and there is no loss. But if there is a drought, these can save our lives!"

For a while, many patriarchs and elders supported Bu Fan.

……

After that, news about the drought quickly spread throughout the village.

Some people doubt it, some people believe it.

But there is no doubt that, whether they believe it or doubt it, the folks in Gaga Village believe in Bu Fan, the village chief, unconditionally.

Therefore, they hoarded the grain harvested this autumn and did not sell it, and only sold fish from the rice fields.

Soon, everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knew about it.

After all, there are many girls who are married out or married into Gaga Village.

These girls told the news to their husband's family or their mother's family one after another.

As for the drought, people in ten miles and eight villages don't believe it.

Now the wind is sunny and sunny, and there was a heavy rain a few days ago, so there will be no drought.

They all thought that this was the salty eating of radishes in Jiajia village, and they were all idle.

Fang Chengwen also heard about it.

For this matter, his first reaction was nonsense, and he was even suspected of spreading rumors.

After all, because of the so-called drought speculation, the price of food in various parts of the county has increased by [-]%.

However, the price didn't last long before it came down.

The reason is also very simple.

This year's autumn harvest is bumper,

But when he knew that the news of the drought came from that corner village, he couldn't help but feel more worried.

The next day, Fang Chengwen took a carriage to Gaga Village.

It wasn't until after noon that Fang Chengwen left Bu Fan's house respectfully.

……

at the same time

in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

A young man with a handsome face and wearing a fourth-rank official robe walked out slowly.

This person is none other than the iron egg who was the champion of high school a few years ago.

Now Tiedan is the fourth-rank minister of the Taipu Temple. At his age, he was able to sit in this position in just a few years, thanks to the emperor's attention and appreciation.

Among them, not only Tie Dan was valued by the emperor,

Over the years, as long as the disciples who come out of the Uncommon Academy are either entrusted by the emperor with a heavy responsibility, they will be sent out to be a parent official, or they will become courtiers like iron eggs.

When all the officials around saw Tie Dan's elegant appearance, they all sighed and regretted that Tie Dan was not snatched to be their son-in-law.

After all, Tie Dan is now the Emperor's favorite.

Moreover, Tie Dan is also famous for doting on his wife and loving his wife. He even beat the prince because of his beloved wife.

And his wife is a country woman.

"Say!"

In the main hall, Cao Huaixin, the current emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, spoke in a dignified manner without anger.

"...I learned that there has been very little rain in Kaiyuan Mansion in the past two years, and the water level of the river has dropped..."

Tiedan bowed his hands and respectfully reported the drought in Kaiyuan Mansion one by one.

The ministers present looked at each other face to face, and even talked in low voices, arguing a lot.

"Only these can prove that there will be a drought in a few years? This is ridiculous. When there is less rain, the water level will naturally drop. After a few days, the next heavy rain will naturally rise back."

"Master Li, you don't even know this bit of common sense, do you?"

But at this moment, Cheng Wenfu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, snorted coldly.
