Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 365 The Drought Worsens, Everyone Discusses (3)
"What should I do, what can I do? Why haven't the emperor's disaster relief supplies arrived yet?" As early as when the Qu'an River began to dry up, Prefect Lu had already reported to the emperor.

It's just that it's a long way from Qingzhou City to Kyoto, and it will take a month at the fastest to go back and forth.I wanted to ask for help in Tongsu City, which is adjacent to Qingzhou City, but I received a message that Tongsu City also began to suffer from water shortage.

"What should I do?" As soon as You Zixuan entered the prefect's mansion, he heard Lu Jin walking around like an ant on a hot pot, muttering to himself.

"Young Lord? That's great, Young Lord, you are here." Seeing You Zixuan, Lu Taishou stepped forward and grabbed You Zixuan's hands as if seeing a savior.

"Tell me, what's the situation now?" You Zixuan also had a headache, this time the disaster, maybe that typhoon or something like that, came more violently.

That can be prevented and reduced to the maximum extent, but this cannot be prevented at all.The water is evaporated, and if it is gone, it will be gone. The key is to use it every day.

"Of the two wells in the city, there is too little output from one well, and there is not much left in the other well. Now people are in panic, and there are more and more refugees. And today they have begun to break into those rich households. Robbery, what do you think can be done?"

Hearing this news, You Zixuan's brows became tighter and tighter, the method Xiaohua said is good or not.That is, even if you have money and rice, you can’t do it without water?
But let's talk about the method with Taishou Lu first, and see how he reacts.

"This method is good, of course, but young master, the water is almost gone, what should I use to cook it? There is not much food now, and the typhoon came out this year, so the output is very low, and there is not enough to eat. The current food, even if there is It’s all from last year, too. The food for disaster relief hasn’t arrived yet, so it won’t work.”

Lu Jin felt that he was really unlucky to run into such a thing.

"Let the rich donate this food. If they are not afraid of those refugees who will rob their homes, they don't have to donate it. I want to see what those people are doing with the food."

"That's fine. At worst, I can issue an order to force them to make donations. I don't believe it can't be obtained. But what about the water? How to solve the water problem?" This is the key. The most urgent problem at present is to solve the water.

You Zixuan obviously knew this too, frowned, and then thought that there are several counties in Qingzhou City that are close to the sea, and the water in the sea is also water.

"Lu Jin, I remember that among the several counties in Qingzhou City, two are near the sea, right? I wonder if there is a way to turn the sea water into drinking water?"

Obviously, Lu Jin had thought about this question a long time ago. "Young Master, this is not okay. I have thought about this problem before, but the seawater is salty, so it is useless at present. There is also drought over there, and some people really can't stand it. Drinking the seawater, it turns out to be more salty. Finally died of thirst, hey..."

"For the matter of raising food, you should first order to notify the counties. If there are wealthy households who are willing to donate water, it is also possible. First, you can get as much as you can. I will solve the water problem." You Zixuan this time My head is getting bigger again, is it possible that I have to go to other places to borrow water?
Even if it is to borrow water, how long will it take to borrow it?After borrowing it, how many people can drink it is still a question.The most important thing right now is to let it rain first.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace half a month ago.

"Second Junior Brother, what are you worrying about?" Lu Qiumo went to the palace to contact Emperor Ming Le again this day.This life is too boring, every day here and there for a while.Really bored and flustered, that heartless Zixuan went to find his little beauty again, hey!

"Look at this?" Emperor Ming Le handed a memorial to himself, the boring and flustered elder brother.

"Um, when did this happen?" Lu Qiumo couldn't laugh anymore. When did such a big event happen in Qingzhou City? Looking at the date, it has been nearly a month now. Within this month, if If it hasn't rained yet, you can imagine how difficult this matter is.

Emperor Ming Le gave Lu Qiumo a blank look, where was the date clearly written in the memorial, and he still asked knowingly, didn't you see that he was bothered?
"You don't know how to read it yourself? Go and go. If you're bored, go home and pick up your wife. I'm just annoyed. By the way, after you go home, call your father. I have to find someone to discuss it." Emperor Ming Le obviously had the intention of chasing people away.

"Hey, in this tone, your senior brother is mediocre in your eyes. Huh, forget it, I won't quarrel with you. Tell me, how do you plan to solve this problem?" Lu Qiumo put on a formal look. Business attitude.

"I'm thinking, Qingzhou City is dry, and Tongsu City will be similar, but I don't know how big the impact will be. Tongsu and Wuyue Kingdom are next to each other. They must not find out, otherwise they may take advantage of this opportunity. , attack us. Now we need to solve the water and food problems. This year’s typhoon has caused various crops to have low yields or even no production. The national treasury must transport food for disaster relief this time. Brother, I think you will do it this time. Others I'm not at ease. As for the matter of water, I think Zixuan will return to Qingzhou City in the shortest possible time, and I believe he or his wife will also solve it."

Emperor Ming Le is not very sure, although Xiao Hua is said to be smart, but not necessarily smart enough to conjure water, if that is the case, wouldn't it be too ridiculous?But there is still hope in my heart, hoping that she can help me get through this hurdle.

"You are so sure, can they solve this problem? You must know that the biggest problem of drought is water." Lu Qiumo glanced at Emperor Ming Le.

"Of course I know that water is the key issue. But the problem is that Qingzhou City is so big, where can I transport so much water and keep it every day? Even if I transport it to other provincial capitals, how much manpower and material resources will it take? How many of them drink and for how long? Now they can rely on it, and they know that little flower."

Emperor Ming Le rubbed his temples, he felt a headache, he was a majestic king of a country, but he couldn't think of a way to solve it, he even pinned his hopes on a girl, hey.

"Why should the people's girl help you? What's the benefit?" Lu Qiumo couldn't think of a way, and felt that even if that little flower knew, why should she help so many people? Besides, as a girl, how could she help? so many people?
"Well, if you are here for this food shipment, if you meet that girl, tell her that if this problem can be solved smoothly, then I promise her three conditions. The conditions are up to her, as long as she is within the range of the river, And it can solve this problem." Emperor Ming Le was also helpless.

"Okay, you said it yourself. Write an imperial decree? Otherwise, what if the girl doesn't believe it? You have to write it clearly, and you can't force her. After all, no one knows if she has a way."
