After time travel, I became the first richest woman in Lizhao

Chapter 107 Plan ahead
Governor Wang frowned. Is the water in the canal even going to dry up?

He took Su Yining and the three of them to the side of the Yurun Canal, and sure enough there were only small patches of stagnant water in the depressions, and there was no water flow in other places.

Governor Wang worriedly took the three of them home.

I wonder if Shi Guangtian has noticed this phenomenon?If there is really a severe drought this year, will he open a warehouse to release grain?Is there enough food for the whole state?
There is also the Yunzhou River, which is the largest river flowing through the entire Yunzhou.

Governor Wang suddenly thought of the river and wondered what the water level was like there.

Thinking of this, he brought three people to the bank of the Yunzhou River. The water level has dropped by about ten feet. If this continues, not only the farmland will not be preserved, but even the people in the city will have problems with their domestic water supply!
When he got home, he was very worried, and hurriedly sent someone to find Master Su.

In fact, Shi Guangtian already knew about this phenomenon.

A month ago, an official reported to him that it had not rained for two consecutive months today, and asked the governor to go down to see the situation.

However, Shi Guangtian just sent one of his subordinates to the field to have a look. The subordinates said that the wheat seedlings are turning green and the situation is satisfactory. It is not too dry now, and it can last for another month or two. Shi Guangtian thought about another one or two months. , There will definitely be a heavy rain, so I don't worry too much.

However, in Wang Shixi's view, drought and famine are of great importance, and we must plan ahead and make preparations in advance, just in case.

So after he went to the field inspection today, he felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and he had to find a way to prepare in advance.

Governor Wang worriedly told Mr. Su what he had seen and heard today, and Mr. Su said: "I have noticed it too. It's just that we are not in the position now, so why do we have to seek his own government? I'm afraid we don't have much power to make changes." ?”

Governor Wang said: "No, let's think of a countermeasure first, and then submit it to Shi Guangtian. If he doesn't take action, I will forward this letter to my friend Yu Qingdong, and ask him to help me forward it to the emperor. The rest We can only rely on God's will. In any case, we must make preparations in advance to deal with disasters."

Master Su nodded in agreement.

The two discussed several countermeasures overnight. These are actions that must be implemented quickly. The later the implementation, the greater the loss and the more serious the consequences.

These countermeasures include:

1. Drill 20 new wells in the city to ensure domestic water supply for urban residents.

2. Drill at least 2 new wells in each village to ensure basic domestic water.

3. Divert the water from the Yanhang Canal into Yunzhou to irrigate the farmland.

4. Check whether the grain in the state warehouse is sufficient, and whether the grain in the righteous warehouse, main warehouse, and transshipment warehouse is sufficient.

5. Ask the imperial court to make preparations, and allocate funds or adjust food when necessary.

The governor wrote these countermeasures one by one on paper, put them in an envelope, and asked someone to hand them to Shi Guangtian early the next morning.

After reading it, Shi Guangtian angrily threw the envelope on the ground, this Wang Shixi!Did he think he was the governor?With me, Shi Guangtian, in charge, I still need him to dictate!

"Tension! Haven't you been to the field? How is the situation? Is it as serious as he said?" Shi Guangtian asked seriously.

Zhang Li replied: "Back to the governor, when I went to see the last time, the wheat seedlings were indeed green, and there was no sign of yellowing or withering at all. I am afraid that Wang Shixi is not reconciled. He wants to prove to you that he is wise and experienced, so he is deliberately angry. you."

"Hmph!" Shi Guangtian slapped the table fiercely: "Don't think he is great just because he has been governor here for a few years! Come here, prepare the sedan chair, I want to see for myself whether the wheat seedlings are dry or not!"

A group of people came to the wheat field.

Shi Guangtian lifted the curtain and took a look, isn't the wheat green and shiny, where is there any sign of drought?
I think it can last a month without any problem!

I'm going back to worship and pray for rain.

"Zhang Li, go and invite a gentleman who can make clouds and rain. We will pray for rain in Wenxuan Temple the morning after tomorrow. By the way, tell all the people of Yunzhou to encourage them to go to Wenxuan Temple to see me pray for rain. Let's pray together, God will perceive our sincerity."

Master Su came back from Governor Wang's house and quickly ordered someone to call Zhao Ling'er and Su Yixiang.

"How long will this beauty pageant end?" Master Su's first question was actually this.

"One round of competition lasts for a week, at least one and a half months!" Su Yixiang said.

"Compress it into one month, and the sooner it ends, the better."

"What happened, father?" Su Yixiang was very puzzled.

"The weather is bad." Master Su looked up.

"The weather is bad?" Su Yixiang frowned. What's the reason? Hasn't the weather been good recently?

Zhao Linger suddenly remembered the drought that Master Su said a few days ago, and asked, "Is the drought in our Yunzhou very serious now?"

Master Su nodded seriously.

In Zhao Linger's mind, there were scenes of people starving to death on the roadside and beggars begging for food.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Yixiang.

Su Yixiang understood, and replied: "Yes."

So he said goodbye to his father and came to the yard with Zhao Linger.

Zhao Linger said: "Shall we go to Jiangnan to stock up on some food?"

Su Yixiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Zhao Ling'er in surprise, and just about to speak, he suddenly thought: If there is no drought this year, and it will rain in a few days, what will happen to the stored food?
He spoke his mind.

Zhao Linger was also lost in thought.

If a lot of food is recovered and there is no drought in Yunzhou, what will happen to the food?
She suddenly remembered the word "futures".

Hey, you can try this method.

She told Su Yixiang what she thought, and Su Yixiang said pleasantly, "It's okay? Then I'll leave tomorrow to go to Runzhou to buy food."

When Zhao Linger thought about it, all the pressure of the next beauty pageant would be on her, it was really a headache!
Looks like I still need help.

Early the next morning, Zhao Linger went to find Wang Ruoxi.

She knew that Li Heng was not at home, so Wang Ruoxi probably had nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ruoxi was showing off her purse.

It turns out that she also has such a gentle side!
Wang Ruoxi took the half-embroidered purse and showed it to Zhao Linger: "Look, isn't this little rabbit cute?"

"Yeah." Zhao Ling'er picked it up and looked carefully, it was indeed okay, "How could it be a rabbit?"

"Li Heng is a rabbit!"

"Oh..." Zhao Ling'er suddenly thought that she hadn't prepared any presents for Su Yi Ning, and she didn't even know when his birthday was. God, how could she be so careless!

Zhao Ling'er decided to visit Su Yi Ning when she had time, inquire about his birthday by the way, and give him a surprise when the time comes.

Right now she is still busy with the beauty pageant, it seems that it will take some time before she can find him.

Zhao Ling'er talked to Wang Ruoxi about the beauty pageant, and Wang Ruoxi happily agreed, since she has nothing to do anyway, so she just went to join in the fun.

After three days of selection, a total of 75 women were selected to enter the second round.
