In the second year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and famine spread all over the land. The famine caused refugees to migrate, and countless people died in the deserted wilderness.

"How could it be so serious?"

The Wugong area where Jiang's family is located has had little rain since spring, and the water level of nearby rivers is also low, but it has managed to survive at least, and the reduction in grain production is still a small amount. Seeing that the year is not good, his grandfather reminded Jiang Anrao early in the morning, Jiang Anrao I also approached Lu Buwei to remind him of this matter.

However, it was not until the autumn harvest that many things came to light. Only then did Xianyang know that there were people displaced by the drought!

Jiang Anrao looked at Lu Buwei, a little angry.

"Sister, I didn't handle this well." Lu Buwei saw Jiang Anrao's face and quickly admitted his mistake.

Lu Buwei, the powerful Prime Minister of Qin, still behaved the same way as before towards Jiang Anrao, admitting his mistakes without making excuses.This left Jiang Anrao with nothing to say.

"The matter about Zheng Guoqu, we either need to slow down and try our best to deal with the disaster first." Lu Buwei thought and said.

When Qin Wangzheng just succeeded to the throne, South Korea sent a hydraulic engineer named Zheng Guo to the Qin State and proposed to build a canal on the north bank of the Jinghe River to divert the Jingshui River from the east to the Luoshui River. If this canal is really built, then Guanzhong will be The land will be fertile and there will be no fear of natural disasters.

This matter was supported by Lord Yangquan at that time. Lu Buwei thought about it again and again and felt that it was feasible.So Qin State spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources and began to build the Zheng Guo Canal under the guidance of Zheng Guo.Originally, this was supposed to be a good thing that benefited the country and the people, but it happened to coincide with a severe drought this year.

Building canals is no small matter, especially the Zhengguo Canal, which has to be built for more than 300 miles. Now that the Qin State is facing a disaster year, this project looks like it will slow down the Qin State.

Many people have been asked to write letters, hoping to stop the construction of Zheng Guo Canal.

Lu Buwei has also been angry about this matter in the past few days. When he heard Jiang Anrao's tone, his first reaction was that Jiang Anrao meant this.

"No, keep on repairing it. Now that it's started, let's finish it!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Anrao said this.

"Sister...but..."

"Isn't it just money and food? There are many rich and powerful households in Daqin. Since natural disasters are ahead, they should also contribute some blood. Next morning, you will issue a decree that if you donate a thousand stones of food, you will be awarded the first rank. Those rich households I will definitely rush to send you gold and silver!"

"Ah?" Lu Buwei was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, this was indeed a trick.

"The common people don't have much food. It's all in the hands of the powerful nobles. If we don't take advantage of them at this time, how long will it last? This is obvious. As for the rest, those who are loyal to Da Qin will naturally It’s all good and bad, you have to figure it out yourself.”

The meaning of these words is also obvious. Zhao, Han, and Chu all have their hands stretched out. If Ying Zheng cannot personally govern, there will be too many people showing off their power in Xianyang City.

It's a good time to pack up a batch of people, so you can rob the rich and give to the poor!

"Okay! I understand, sister!"

Lu Buwei listened happily, and the two of them agreed like this. They didn't think that Jiang Anrao, an outsider, could interfere in the affairs of the Qin State.

One of the two people said it as a matter of course, and the other one heard it very reasonable.

"There is still some food in Jiangjiatun, and I also have some gold. You and others will come to Jiangjia to get it later. Relieve the victims first. After that, if the victims have nowhere to go, hey, the people who built the canals must let them have enough to eat."

Lu Buwei heard this and nodded. This was to help him plan the arrangements for the victims.There are two types of workers who built the Zheng Guo Canal. One is the corvee, that is, the common people who serve in ordinary families, and the other is the criminals, including those who committed crimes and prisoners in the Qin State.

The Jiang family has always opposed harsh treatment of corvee labor, so Jiang Ruoyang has been constantly revising relevant regulations since he was the right prime minister.

So in fact, today's corvees in Qin have a certain number of years, and although the work of corvee is hard and tiring, food and clothing are always guaranteed.

Even a sinner would not let someone die without food.

As for the distributed food and other materials, supervision is extremely strict, and when they are delivered layer by layer, they are checked at every level.There are not many loopholes that can be exploited, and once someone is caught cheating, it is a very serious crime.

Therefore, over the years, everyone who handles money and food has been very tight-lipped. Whenever food under any name is handed out, I have to sleep and stare at it, really afraid that something will go wrong and people will be killed.

Similarly, as long as you perform well, the rewards afterwards will be very generous.

If you work hard with all your energy, your legal rewards will be very generous afterwards!
In this way, it will be fair, and those who worry about doing things will have no complaints.

Jiang Anrao told Lu Buwei to take care of the money and food for disaster relief, and then talked about epidemic prevention.

When I heard that there were refugees, my grandfather said that this was going to be bad. After a major disaster, it would be easy to have a major epidemic. At this time, measures must be taken in advance, otherwise once the plague breaks out, hundreds of thousands of people may die!

This matter is no joke and must be taken seriously in advance.

The outbreak of drought refugees is because someone delayed, otherwise it would not have been so serious, so this time the epidemic prevention must be effectively implemented.

Grandpa is 91 years old. He is in good health and has no problems at all. He packed his things at this time and planned to help organize epidemic prevention work.

In fact, it's not like I have to ask my grandfather to come forward. He has so many disciples and grandchildren, and it's not like he can't handle it if he just picks one up.

But grandpa couldn't stay idle.

Just like him, there is Father Jiang and Mother Jiang.

Jiang Ruoyang helped draft the regulations for disaster relief. No one knows better than him how to handle any situation.Grandpa Jiang Ma is the one who helped the Qin State formulate epidemic prevention regulations. Because of such regulations, the Qin State has been able to remain calm in recent years.

But now that the refugees are migrating and people have died, it is really possible that a large-scale plague will break out at this time.Grandpa Jiang and Ma wanted to go to the front line to see if there were any problems so they could discover them in time, and secondly, to verify whether their regulations were reasonable and effective.

After everyone tried to stop them to no avail, all Jiang Anrao could do was raise a large amount of money and materials for the Jiang family, and then she and Wang Yun went out for a run with the three old people.

Jiang Anrao is a person who has never really seen any natural disasters, so when he saw it for the first time, he was deeply shocked like all the viewers in the live broadcast room.

Such scenes are more uncomfortable than war scenes.

When faced with a tragic scene in the world, people will suddenly realize that human power is really too insignificant in the face of nature.

Fortunately, Jiang Anrao and his family are busy at the front like Dinghai Shenzhen, and there will be a steady supply of manpower, food, medicinal materials, etc. from behind.
