Chapter 114: Great Drought in the Northwest! The world is in chaos! [Ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass].

Everything is just as Yunzhong Jun said, three heavy rains, one no more, one less.

During this time, in order to deal with the drought, Chu Ying could be described as running with his legs on fire, and from time to time he would ride a horse to various places to check the progress of the reservoir and the opening of the river.

In fact, these things are reported by officials in various places, and Jinyiwei supervises.

But how to say, if you don’t see it with your own eyes, Chu Ying’s heart really can’t fall, after all, this is a fatal thing.

The entire Northern Liang was almost completely mobilized, and when Chu Yanxun learned that there would be a drought, without saying a word, he transferred the army under his command to participate in the great cause of opening the river and repairing canals.

This was unexpected by Chu Ying, it seems that he still underestimated the ancients’ trust in such things as star divination. Of course, it is estimated that there is the same mind as Chu Ying, and it is better to believe it or not.

Build reservoirs, widen canals, dig deep wells… These things went quite smoothly, at least when the three heavy rains came, the water storage of the entire Northern Liang was quite considerable.

But even so, the plan was not completely completed as smoothly as Chu Ying thought, and the entire project was only about seven or eight out of ten.

No way, the population of Beiliang is said to be less, but it is not much.

In this era of shoulder-to-shoulder carrying, it is already good to have such efficiency, and for a period of time, officials in various parts of Beiliang have also been busy.

Everywhere they surveyed the geographical terrain, organized the people, maintained law and order, and had to supervise the progress of various projects. No way, now under Fang Xuanling’s governance, the officials of the eight counties of Northern Liang are all Chu Ying’s people. The boss above has an order, can the people below not move.

And the common people of Northern Liang, after the last road construction, also had a basis for trust in the decree of Chu Yingtiance’s mansion. In the end, although the project was not fully accomplished, it was generally completed.

But at this moment, it is far from the time to breathe a sigh of relief.

After a month, Chu Ying sent back a report from the eyeliner of the Second Prefecture, saying that it had not rained for a month in the entire Second Prefecture. It is said that there are no clouds in the sky, and the earth baked by the sun is like a stove.

In fact, there is no need to look at the two prefectures, now the southern part of Northern Liang, that is, the area over Jiuyuan County and Pingyang County, the situation is similar to that of Union Prefecture.

According to the report of the commander of Jiuyuan County, in the southeastern part of Jiuyuan County, many places were almost dry, and two incidents of fire pouring out mountains occurred.

The weather is dry, the roasted leaves are yellow, and sometimes the temperature is a little hotter to set the dry leaves on fire.

Speaking of which, when he received the news, Chu Ying was lying on Bai Yishu’s bed, and when Shangguan Wan’er came to report, he jumped up directly from the bed in fright.

No way, our Han family is responsible, which is like those white pigs in Tai O, the fire at home has been burning for several months, and Nima has not been extinguished, burning nearly three billion animals.

This operation….. Yes, yes, very special dishes boiled.

Chu Ying put on his clothes and rushed to the Tiance Mansion at the first time, and Fang Xuanling naturally couldn’t lie on the bed.

Later, when she learned that the fire did not cause casualties to the people, Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but it is said that the fire burned several mountains.

But this is no way, now Chu Ying has long ordered, now water resources are very important, when the drought comes, people have no water to drink, how can there be water to put out the fire.

The only way to fight the fire with fire and bury the soil with sand is filled.

Nowadays, water and food must be controlled to eat less, in the face of disasters, it is good to have a bite to live, basically don’t think that today’s people will not make trouble because of this, after all, they are poor people, and everyone will not care.

Besides, the government has said that it is estimated that there will be a big drought.

Although ordinary people do not read much, but those who farm every day do not know what drought represents.

Therefore, most of the people still obey the orders of the government, even if some of them are disobedient, it will not get in the way, and they will be directly arrested and sent to prison.

On a good day, you don’t have to get chaff in prison, which also saves rations, and you have an extra batch of free labor. What the? You say you want to go up the mountain and be a bandit at ease?

Hey, if this were possible in other states, such as the current state of Yuyu II, with the beginning of the drought, some bandits have begun to appear in the country.

But this is impossible in Northern Liang, not to mention that Chu Ying was not in charge of affairs, even when his old son Chu Yan was looking for affairs, there were no bandits in Northern Liang.

I dare not say how well the governance of Northern Liang is, but there are bandits who have long been specially wiped out.

No matter how much you bandits are, can you still cattle the elite army of Northern Liang? Don’t laugh at the dead…

As the weather gradually cooled, the hearts of the people of Daliang also began to cool.

In the northwestern region of Daliang, centered on Heyou Prefecture, the consequences of drought are already evident, and most of Yanzhou and Qinzhou are also severely affected.

The common people have begun to eat the soil and gnaw the bark of trees, and white bones of starvation can be seen everywhere.

Of course, some of them are eaten by people, go outside and walk casually, and you can see human bones and animal bones in a few steps. There are both men and women, and there are terrible deaths, and there are even infant babies. It’s really impossible to speak.

The bandits in the second prefecture were already very serious, and even because they were hungry, peasant uprisings and rebellions broke out.

And Qinzhou is still fighting in Yanzhou, Qinzhou was originally defeated, who knew that at this time, Xiao Jiao, the king of Qi, suddenly intervened and sent troops to support the king of Qin.

Not long after, the second prince, together with Xiao Hong the King of Chu and Xiao Jian the King of Yue, attacked Zhongzhou and Weizhou on the grounds that the eldest prince had secretly killed Emperor Liang in the palace to avenge Emperor Liang.

Strangely, Xiao Zhi, the king of Jin, and Xiao Ji, the king of Lu, did not know which style to smoke, and actually raised the banner of righteousness, saying that they would enter Beijing to suppress the thief and send troops to attack Jingzhou.

The eldest prince was attacked on all sides for a while, but he had no way?

No, the eldest prince sent someone to send a letter to the Liaodong general Dong Zhongcai, and as a result, Dong Zhongcai led 200,000 iron horsemen from Liaodong to the south of Hedong and directly attacked King Lu’s hometown of Xuzhou.

In the end, he was so frightened that King Lu 5.3 directly withdrew back, trying to resist Dong Zhongcai’s Liaodong Iron Ride.

And the eldest prince gave an order to Cao Xuan, the assassin of Qingzhou, to attack Nanzhou of Xiao Jian the King of Yue, so that Xiao Jian the King of Yue had no time to divide troops to help the second prince.

Cao Xuan originally served as a soldier in the capital, but he was a person of the eldest prince, and was finally transferred by the eldest prince to Qingzhou to make an assassination history.

Therefore, for the order of the eldest prince, Cao Xuan naturally will not disobey, after all, he belongs to the faction of the eldest prince, if the second prince seizes power, how will he be good at that time?

Therefore, everything was as Chu Ying guessed, once the Liang Emperor died, the princes no longer had any scruples in their hearts.

After all, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, in fact, in the eyes of the prince of the world, there is no prestige at all, but just two juniors.

It can be said that today’s girder has become a mess of porridge.
