Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174

End of the meeting,

Although Lu Yan's last suggestion was a guess, Cao Cao's emphasis on it exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even Lu Yan himself was a little surprised, so he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Cao, the natural disaster is only Yan's guess."

Cao Cao didn't wait for Lu Yan to finish, and said, "It's okay, anyway, it's always right to plan ahead."

Now that Cao Cao has said so, everyone can only obey orders.

It's just that there was an extra expenditure of human and financial resources for no reason, which made some county guards feel a little headache, and even became a little dissatisfied with Lu Yan.

However, Lu Yan didn't care what these people thought.

After the meeting, he walked out of the chamber first.

"Sir, wait a minute, sir!" Man Chong caught up with Lu Yan from behind.

Lu Yan turned around and saw that Man Chong was calling him, so he stopped and said, "It's Bo Ning, long time no see!"

Man Chong came to Lu Yan, bowed his hands and said: "Chong, I have met Mr.!"

"When did you and I become so divided?" Lu Yan said with a smile, pulling up Man Chong.

Man Chong took two steps forward, came to Lu Yan's ear and asked, "Sir, I know you never target without purpose. You mentioned natural disasters just now, did you have a premonition?"

It has to be said that Man Chong still knows Lu Yan very well.

Thinking about him, Lu Yan usually wants to hand over everything in his hands, so how could he inexplicably put some big things on himself?

"Mister's words definitely mean something else." Suddenly someone spoke behind them, and it turned out that not only Man Chong, but also Cao Ren chased after them.

Lu Yan glanced at Cao Ren and Man Chong, then looked at the pointing of the people around him, and said with a smile: "Let's talk when we go back, it's not convenient to talk here."

Back at the post house, Lu Yan explained in detail to Man Chong and Cao Ren that there will be a severe drought in April.

One of them is the prefect of Dongjun and the other is the prefect of Yingchuan. Naturally, they also have to be responsible for the people under their rule.

Man Chong and Cao Ren looked at each other in disbelief. If it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of them was Lu Yan, who they trusted and respected from the bottom of their hearts,

Whenever it is a different person, Man Chong's first reaction may be to let him eat a whip first.
The records of drought in ancient Chinese history are often shocking.

Even the most serious, it has reached the point where the Yellow River has stopped flowing, the land is withered, and people cannibalize each other.

What makes the people even more uncomfortable is that locust plagues often follow severe droughts, and the hardworking people already have nothing to eat, and this situation is even worse.

After the catastrophe, there will be another catastrophe. After this series of blows, the people obviously cannot survive.

What else can I do if I survive?All they can do is to rise up and fight for a way out by themselves!

The Eastern Han Dynasty came to the end of the year in this way, to the current situation where the building is about to collapse and the heroes stand side by side.

Under the control of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, the Han court has completely lost its majesty.

Although the princes still respect it on the surface, no one really takes it seriously when it comes to the orders issued by the Han court.

Yanzhou survived the most difficult period with great difficulty, but he didn't want to face another battle of brilliant heavenly power.
"Sir, how can we prevent this severe drought?" Man Chong asked Lu Yan.

From the moment he walked out of the Governor's Mansion, Lu Yan was racking his brains to recall the drought-resistant methods from later generations.

What people do their best is to build water conservancy.

Construct large, medium and small reservoirs, build ponds and dams, configure irrigation and drainage channels,
Digging wells and pools to achieve water storage, water conservation and rational use of water.

To be honest, Lu Yan also has a headache. After all, ancient times are no better than modern times, and it is almost impossible to completely prevent them.

"I need some time to sort out the countermeasures. You two should go back first. After I sort it out, I will send someone to give it to you."

"Here!" Seeing Lu Yan frowning, Cao Ren and Man Chong felt the horror of this crisis more and more.

After walking out of the room, Man Chong murmured: "When faced with thousands of troops, I have never seen Mr. frowning so much."

Cao Ren then said with emotion: "Yes! It seems that it will be very difficult to get through this calamity safely."

"It's ridiculous that those short-sighted people still make irresponsible remarks to Mister."

"Hehe, it's okay if they took precautions according to the master's words. If they didn't, then they can ask for blessings."

After Cao Ren and Man Chong left,
Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu hurried over again.

These three people are the civil servants and advisors under Boss Cao who know Lu Yan best.
They also knew that it was impossible for Lu Yan to aimlessly and cause trouble for himself for no reason.

"Changsheng, will there really be a severe drought starting in April?" Cheng Yu said bluntly, and his voice had already come in before he even entered the house.

"Guess, it's all guesses." Lu Yan replied with a haha.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, we are all old acquaintances who started with the lord, can you still not trust us?" Xi Zhicai was a little anxious, he had personally experienced natural disasters in the early years.

Even the scene of the starvation and the common people eating each other occasionally appeared in his dreams.

Seeing Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu all looking at him eagerly, Lu Yanyin put away the fake smiles on his face, and said with a bitter face: "Yes, Yan knows some stargazing skills. According to the astronomical phenomenon, I found that there may be a severe drought this year."

The ancients believed in this, and the more famous Si Tianjian later on, didn't it just do these gods and gods.

Xi Zhicai had no doubts about Lu Yan's belief.

When he heard Lu Yan say that he also knows the art of stargazing, he immediately couldn't help but said in a nutshell: "Mr. can also watch stars? Mister is knowledgeable and talented, and I admire him!"

Although Cheng Yu and Xun Yu doubted the truth of Lu Yan's words, after all, their cognition was only in the feudal era like today.

Regarding Lu Yan's words, they maintained a skeptical attitude.

"Preventing drought is nothing more than constructing water conservancy projects," Xi Zhicai quickly began to think in the direction of prevention.

"But if the river is also dried up, what's the use of building a canal?" Cheng Yu shook his head and asked a very realistic question.

Xun Yu nodded, and replied: "Yes, no one in the past dynasties can fully guard against it. How innocent are the people of the big man!"

Seeing the sighs of the three older brothers, Lu Yan couldn't help comforting him: "Actually, there is no way. Although we can't completely prevent it, we can at least prevent people from starving to death!"

"Hoo~!" After hearing Lu Yan's words, Xi Zhicai stood up with a hoot.

Because he got up too violently, the blood supply to the brain was a little insufficient, and Xi Zhicai almost fell to the ground when his eyes darkened.

Lu Yan reacted quickly, when Xi Zhicai was shaking and about to fall, he reached out to support him.

A trace of innate zhenqi entered Xi Zhicai's body, and Lu Yan frowned deeper than before.

"Zhicai!"

"Zhicai!"

After Xun Yu and Cheng Yu came to their senses, they also stepped forward to support Xi Zhicai and said concernedly.

The innate qi nourished the slightly depleted body of Xi Caicai,
He managed to squeeze out a smile, and gratefully said to Lu Yan, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu: "I'm sick, it's okay."

"No problem?" Hearing this, Lu Yan immediately lost his temper, "I told you to rest well, why didn't you listen to me?"

"This... that..." Xi Zhicai's eyes were a little dodgy, like a child who has done something wrong facing a parent who is about to explode.

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them,
Cheng Yu even muttered to himself: "Could it be that some elder who grows up to be a talented person?"

A teasing smile appeared on Xun Yu's face, and he replied softly: "This is the answer to that sentence. One thing, one thing!"
