Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 510 Panic
"I've obviously done something to my face."

She used her makeup skills to transform her face into a face that even her family could not see if they were standing in front of her. This means that her appearance will be directly compared to her own. It’s such a huge discount on renovation, how could anyone still take a fancy to it?

Cang Xiuxuan sighed and pulled her closer to his arms, "There is a saying that beauty is in the bones but not in the skin. I really want to hide you!"

How could he feel relieved that he had attracted two romantic partners after going out?

With just one sentence, Song Chen put aside the uncomfortable feeling in his heart and hooked his hands around his neck, "I am very happy to hear your compliment. It is impossible for you to hide me, but I can barely hide you." stand up."

Such a delicate little daughter's posture was vividly displayed by her. Cang Xiuxuan's throat felt a little tight and her whole body became tense again.

This time, Song Chen knew why he reacted like this. Before Cang Xiuxuan could make a move, Song Chen got out of his arms and got out of the carriage in one go.

Sitting on the carriage, he smiled proudly at Cang Xiuxuan.

Cang Xiuxuan sat there without moving, the color in his eyes changed several times, and he tried his best to suppress the urge to move.

The little girl was actually teasing her, waiting for her to go home first, and let's see how he deals with her next time they are together!

……

After a comfortable meal at home and a contented sleep, Song Chen was about to start patrolling everywhere again.

As soon as she arrived at Nanfeng Village, Li Zheng and Lin Maofeng hurriedly approached her and said, "Xiaochen, you are finally back."

Lin Maofeng looked anxious, and Song Chen could probably guess why.

"Uncle Li Zheng, let's find a place to talk in detail."

Lin Maofeng didn't know what Song Chen meant, but he just did it.

As soon as the two sat down, Lin Maofeng kicked all his family members out. They also knew that the two of them had something to talk about, so they prepared sugar water and left.

"Xiaochen, look at this time. It used to be the spring plowing season in Beiguan Village, but why is it still like this here, without a drop of rain?"

As a veteran farmer, Lin Maofeng was very anxious.

Song Chen looked away from the outside and sighed slightly after listening to Lin Maofeng's words, "Here's what I want to tell you. Since the beginning of winter last year, most places have never seen rain, no matter where it is. No, even the whole of Dayong is like this."

"What! The whole Da Rong is like this!"

Lin Maofeng's expression suddenly changed, "If it doesn't rain, what will we people eat?"

"This year's severe drought is a foregone conclusion."

In the face of natural disasters, no one is powerless. What they have to do now is to minimize the damage.

"Uncle Li Zheng, don't worry. The people of Xincheng have food security. The prince has already stocked up a lot of food, which can basically guarantee the food supply for the residents of Xincheng. However, we still can't slack off and see if we can grow as much as possible. Come on, can the water reservoir from before be put to use?”

"I actually forgot about the reservoir. There was water storage before, but there was no rain during this period and it didn't continue." Lin Maofeng clapped her thigh and thought about something. She asked them to build the reservoir earlier. I'm afraid that one day I'll find out.

He really admired that a little girl had such foresight. "Continue to store water, try to mobilize villagers to find water, ensure that every household can fill the reservoir, and cover it after it is full, and try to plant some crops and food in our own land, so that Life is better."

"I know this, don't worry, I will get this done as soon as possible."

Lin Maofeng made a guarantee to Song Chen.

Song Chen naturally believed him. He originally wanted to talk about the workshop, but when he thought about the severe drought that was coming, Song Chen felt that it would be useless to talk more now. He could only inform them after some time. .

A portion of the grain brought back this time has been secretly put into the granary on the Song family's farm. They also did this relatively covertly. After all, a severe drought will come and everyone will have nothing to eat. Food people are dangerous.

In addition to Nanfeng Village, there are other villages near Zhuangzi. She will not put her family in a dangerous situation.

Different from the ease here, the whole country in Da Rong is now in a tense atmosphere. Those people sent by the emperor to investigate have also made clear the situation in various places, and the whole country has delayed spring plowing.

He is the emperor and knows the consequences of delaying spring plowing.

"The order goes down. No one must delay spring plowing. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

This is already an extremely severe measure. The common people are still observing the astronomical phenomena and do not dare to sow rashly. Otherwise, in addition to no harvest, they will suffer a large loss, which is fatal to them.

But the emperor doesn't care about this now. If there is no spring plowing in the whole country, the situation this year and next can be imagined. And this situation will continue. I don't know how many years it will take to get over.

The people below can only carry out the orders bitterly.

The emperor was sitting in the palace, a little dazed.

Cang Xiuxuan, that unfilial son, had plundered a lot of food from their army before, and now it was even more difficult to punish him.

With that food, he is even more powerful. Not only will his new city not suffer heavy losses, but it will also become more popular after this experience.

He hated him!
After thinking about it again and again, the emperor sent another order.

When he sends out troops again, he must capture the new city. He wants to collect all the food in the city into the treasury!
As soon as this order came out, the court was in chaos.

Many ministers have suggested that now is not a good time to start a war, and that we must first get over the current difficulties.

But the emperor insisted on having his own way, and the people below had no choice but to do as he said.

Fortunately, the situation of the drought has not yet been known to the common people, and almost all places have blocked the news and are not allowed to spread it. In this way, the common people think that they are the only one who is like this, thinking that no matter how difficult it is, the court will not Ignore them.

As everyone knows, the whole country is like this.

The eldest princess was also actively collecting food, but at the same time she still sent some money to the palace.

When the 5 taels of silver were placed in front of the emperor, the emperor looked at the imperial sister and did not speak for a long time.

The eldest princess also made her intention clear, "Brother, the situation is critical now. Originally, I could have given out more money. However, I just received a batch of pearls some time ago and most of my wealth has been released." , I can only express my feelings briefly."
