Dading has a vast territory. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, almost every year there is either drought here or flood there. Almost everyone is used to it.The ministers above the court are more familiar with the emergency plan.

It is nothing more than disaster relief, appease the people, do a good job in health care, do a good job in post-disaster reconstruction work, etc.; if there is corruption, cut off a few.If the disaster area is large and cannot be controlled for a while, then the emperor will issue an edict of guilt, worship God, and say that what he did not do well. Anyway, things will always be able to be delayed. Solve, the difference between faster and slower.

However, as long as the disaster occurs in Wuzhou, it will not be a trivial matter.

Wuzhou is a land of fish and rice and the main grain producing area of ​​Dading.More than half of the food in the entire Gyeonggi region comes from Wuzhou, not to mention the supply of food and grass for the army.

But this does not mean that the people in the Wuzhou area have an easy life.No matter how much food they grow, they will hardly be able to eat the new rice of the year, and they are lucky enough to be able to exchange enough old rice.

Now that there is a drought in Wuzhou, almost all the people are desperate.When the harvest was the best in previous years, porridge could be eaten, but now the ground is so dry that there are small holes...

"There are already children and daughters being sold. It won't be long before Yuzhou will have refugees from Wuzhou coming over." Yi Xuefeng said what he knew.

Looking at the healthy rice seedlings in the field, Yuan Jia couldn't feel happy at all.Yuan Jia didn't witness the current situation in Yuzhou, but it wasn't the first day he heard about the bandit disaster.

These rogues were originally ordinary people. If they couldn't survive, why would they become rogues?

People can't live in Wuzhou, can they live in Yuzhou?

Yuan Jia suddenly thought: Wuzhou is adjacent to Yuzhou, Wuzhou is suffering from drought, how about Yuzhou?

Thinking of this, Yuan Jia couldn't sit still.Fan Haoxuan is still in Yuzhou with someone.He went over to take a look last night, but didn't ask anything specific, and was just busy making the bed...

Yuan Jia wanted to go straight to Fan Haoxuan's side immediately.But Tailin County is not like Fan's Mansion, it's not Fan Haoxuan's dictatorship, even the remaining soldiers are directly subordinate to King Xia, Fan Haoxuan is now at best a temporary worker.

No matter what, Yuan Jia had to wait until Fan Haoxuan was alone before going over. To be safe, it was midnight.

It's just after noon now, Yuan Jia thought about it: "Prepare more ingredients, I'll cook later."

Yuan Jia hasn't cooked for a long time.

Yi Xuefeng's eyes brightened when he thought of the dishes he ate back then, and he readily agreed.There are many people in Zhuangzi, and the food at home is not bad at all. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep have already been raised by themselves, and vegetables are even simpler.

Now the income from vegetables has accounted for a large proportion of Zhuangzi's income.Vegetables generally have a short maturity period.Planted on the Zhuangzi where Yuanjia has dredged the earth's energy, it will grow like crazy.

Yuan Jia cooked an afternoon meal that day, and Yi Xuefeng held up his chopsticks for a long time, waiting for two dishes and one soup.Wu Nan also helped chop vegetables and meat.Yuan Jia left two extra dishes for him.

Yi Xuefeng felt that being a housekeeper was terrible!The treatment is terrible!I often get scolded by my boss!It depends on the family members to fight for benefits!

Family member Wu Nan: "Brother, ah~"

Yi Xuefeng opened his mouth and waited to be fed: "Well, this is delicious. Xiao Nan should eat more." The first mass-produced oyster sauce was taken away by the Wuna people, and they didn't have much oyster sauce on hand.Originally, it was planned to spread oyster sauce to restaurants and restaurants all over the Southwest, but in this world, it is more reliable to go directly to sea boats.

Wu Nan opened his mouth: "Ah~"

Yi Xuefeng fed it.

On the other side in Tailin County, Yuan Jia was also feeding Fan Haoxuan.

To say that Fan Haoxuan was not used to his military career, apart from Yuan Jia's absence, he couldn't get Yuan Jia's skills.

For Fan Haoxuan, Yuan Jia's appearance with food almost melted his heart.

The only fly in the ointment is: "Yuan Yuan, come earlier next time." He deliberately waited on the bed today, but in the end he almost fell asleep after waiting, and Yuan Jia came.

The food taken out from the palm of the hand was still warm, Fan Haoxuan ate it a little bit voraciously for the first time.

"I'm afraid that if I come early, I will be seen by others." Yuan Jia looked a little distressed.Is there anything to eat in this barracks?Why does it look like you have been hungry for three days?

Fan Haoxuan paused, and said: "It doesn't matter, there will be no one here after nightfall. Even if there is something to do, I will report it outside first."

While taking care of Fan Haoxuan to eat, Yuan Jia blocked Fan Haoxuan's chopsticks to feed him: "I've eaten it, you eat it yourself."

The conditions in Tailin County are not as good as those in Fan Mansion, and there is no one to serve them at this time.Fan Haoxuan went to fetch half a bucket of well water, and came back to wash up: "Does Yuan Yuan want to visit the county town?"

Yuan Jia frowned: "I heard that there is a severe drought in Wuzhou."

Fan Haoxuan was not happy to see him frowning, so he pointed at the center of his brows with his finger: "Yuzhou is coming soon, and it hasn't rained well this year. Tailin County is better here. I heard that all the water for farming is taken from the big river. Come here. Several villages have already broken their heads in order to grab water."

He didn't have any specific affairs in Tailin County, he said he was in charge of the overall situation, but he had the ability to mark the Qi Luck Pearl, and he could tell where there were hostile red dots.Under his nose, nothing really happened.

In other people's words, it is as if there is divine help.

What Fan Haoxuan does every day, besides supervising work, is to patrol the ground over and over again, and then send troops to inspect the surrounding villages.Of course, it is impossible for a county to be just such a city. It must be in command of more than a dozen surrounding villages, and the territory is very large.On these sites, there will definitely be some resistance.One of the purposes of Fan Haoxuan's stay is also to sweep away this part of the power.

These days, he has learned a lot about this aspect.He has no problem dealing with rioters or bandits, but when it comes to common affairs, he is almost helpless.

Facing Yuan Jia, Fan Haoxuan didn't have to hold back, leaning on Yuan Jia's shoulder and complaining: "The county magistrate was a little evasive, saying that the common people have already figured out their own way. I asked again, but he didn't say anything. The same goes for other people, just I alone don't know."

He is now using the original group of people out of helplessness.A county can be conquered by the army, but it cannot be governed by the army.In a short period of time, he is bound to use these people. It seems that they are still aware of current affairs. These people in the county government are not willing to belong, which is expected.But since they nodded at the beginning, don't blame him for turning his face when they come to play tricks and other things now.

Yuan Jia, who didn't know that Fan Haoxuan was thinking about violence, was amused by the feeling of a child going home and complaining to adults, and chuckled: "Tomorrow, I will buy an empty house in Tailin County, so I can come here." He felt that the so-called method gave him a bad premonition.

If the disaster can be survived by the common people's own methods, it will not be a disaster.Drought, a natural disaster, was an unsolvable topic in his age of technological prosperity. At most, it was able to guarantee the people's domestic water, and other aspects could be alleviated.A disaster is still a disaster, it does not depend on people's subjective consciousness.

Fan Haoxuan's efficiency is very high.The main reason is that there are many vacant houses in Tailin County, so he quickly bought a house near the city gate.

In fact, according to Yuan Jia's purpose, he really hoped to find a relatively secluded place outside the county seat.But Yuzhou is no better than the three southwestern states. Although Tailin County has been controlled in name, there are still some dangerous factors.On this point, Yuan Jia must have listened to Fan Haoxuan.

Even if it is placed in the city, it is a matter of escapism.

Fan Haoxuan was worried and followed him life and death.

Yuan Jia had no choice but to give up the plan of walking around, and went directly to the village according to the records in Fan Haoxuan's county annals.

They came out early, and it was not completely dark yet.

In Fan's mansion, it's time to hold the lamp at such a time.In the village not far away, there was no fire to be seen.The whole village seemed to be dead.

The two of them walked seven or eight villages in a row like this.

The light was too dark, so Yuan Jia had to squat on the ground and look at the crops in the field under the light of the torch in Fan Haoxuan's hand. Compared with the ones on his farm, they were simply malnourished sick children.Although it is not dead, the prospects are not too good.

Tailin County is located in the south, the climate is similar to that of the three southwest states, and the crops are grown three times a year, so it is considered a relatively rich place.So first he was targeted by pirates, and later he was able to afford to build the Turtle City.

Yuan Jia looked up at the sky, and dragged Fan Haoxuan to the next village.

Before Yuan Jia could stand still, he heard a faint sound of beating and crying.

Not to mention Yuan Jia, even Fan Haoxuan frowned.

Considering that it would be inconvenient to be seen by others, the "landing points" chosen by Yuan Jia were not too close to the villagers' settlements.At this distance, they could all hear the sound, and the movement was definitely not small.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the light of the fire could travel a long distance in the darkness.

Fan Haoxuan ran over silently all the way to the ground with Yuan Jia on his back, and saw a few strong men pulling out a little boy no more than three or four years old from a house.The child's mother was pinned to the ground by several thick women, crying hoarsely.The child's father stood with his hands aside, his expression numb and dull.

Next to the strong man was a man in colorful clothes, holding a slightly older little girl by the hand.

The little girl looked at the crying little boy, stood on tiptoes, and patted her hand: "Don't cry, little tiger, my sister will take you to play. Tomorrow my sister will be He Bo's bride, and Xiaohu will be my sister's brother." Carry me on your back, okay?"

The little boy didn't quite understand. He looked at the little girl, then at his parents at home, and nodded: "Mom, if Xiaohu doesn't cry, neither should Mom."

Be He Bo's bride!

Yuan Jia felt that the hairs on his back had exploded!
