On this day, Liu Hong was preparing to review official documents.
Cheng Yu hurriedly came to report.
"Sir, there is a large area of drought in Chenliu County, and the fields in various counties are in urgent need of water. If this continues until the time of harvest, the production may be reduced by half!"
"Now people in all counties are panicked and fearful of riots."
After saying that, Cheng Yu's face was filled with worry.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the most feared.
Yanzhou has finally got on the right track, but a natural disaster might cause it to fall short.
Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded, and he and Cheng Yu rode out of the city to investigate.
The land is a little dry and cracked, and the growth of the grain is also a little sluggish.
If this continues, sooner or later these grains will wither.
"Are there any big lakes or rivers around?"
Liu Hong looked at Cheng Yu in a deep voice.
"Sir, there is a lake thirty miles away, but the lake is below, and digging canals can't bring in the water."
Cheng Yu thought for a while and replied.
"You go back first to organize the manpower, and the carpenters go to the lake."
"yes!"
Liu Hong ordered, and Cheng Yu rode his horse back directly.
And he rode the divine bird to the lake thirty miles away.
【lake】
[Underground spring: underground spring water, sweet and clear, (green entry). 】
[Small lakes: small lakes with limited water resources (white entries). 】
To the eye, there are two entries, one green and one white.
Seeing this, Liu Hong was delighted and immediately refreshed the entry.
After consuming three times daily and wasting one thousand luck points.
Only then did the 'small lake' become an 'inexhaustible spring'.
[Inexhaustible fountain: endless source, never exhausted (purple entry). 】
The entry color changes from white to purple.
The originally small lake expanded hundreds of times in an instant.
Looking at the sparkling ripples on the lake's surface and the continuous flow of water, Liu Hong relaxed.
The next step is to solve the terrain problem.
The terrain of the mountains around Chenliu County is sunken, and it will be useless no matter how big the lake is.
The only way to solve the terrain problem is to improve the terrain here.
By increasing the water pressure, canals can be opened and water trucks can be built to guide the water flow.
Liu Hong looked into the distance.
【Low-lying mountains】
[Low-lying: The terrain is open and low, with no blocking effect from the surrounding mountains, (grey entry). 】
[Barren: A thousand miles away, the land is barren, it is difficult to plant, and it is difficult for living beings to survive, (gray entry). 】
“…”
With two gray entries, Liu Hong was helpless.
Seeing that there was only a small amount of luck left, he gritted his teeth and refreshed directly.
Now that the water source problem in Chenliu County has been solved, only the terrain remains.
Although drought problems can be solved through rainfall.
But teaching a man to fish is not as good as teaching him to fish.
Once the mountain topography changes, counties and counties covering hundreds of miles around will no longer have to worry about drought.
moment.
Golden light flashes.
About two thousand luck points were consumed, directly wiping out Liu Hong's family fortune.
[Ferrous fields and thousands of miles: fertile land, thousands of miles of fertile soil, extremely high terrain, (golden entry)]
[Sacred Land for Military Strategies: The terrain is extremely high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a must-win place for military strategists, (purple entry). 】
The two entries directly turned the Yanzhou Mountains into a battleground for military strategists.
Moreover, the change in mountain topography has made the originally low-lying mountains become taller.
Next, we only need to build a water canal to solve the drought problem in Chenliu County.
Soon Cheng Yu arrived with everyone.
Liu Hong ordered people to cut down trees and use mortise and tenon structures to make water windmills.
In addition, people dug a canal leading to the fields.
As the clear spring water flows into the fields, the governor of Chenliu County is grateful.
"Only one Chenliu County has been solved, there are other counties."
Liu Hong looked at the document in his hand and frowned slightly.
In Yanzhou, except for Dongjun, which he was originally in charge of, all other counties were suffering from drought to some extent.
However, the drought in Chenliu County is the most serious.
But there are scattered dry places in other counties.
Building canals is a bit of a fuss.
It can be solved directly through the official seal of rainfall.
By the way, a wave of people can come to show their saintliness and gain reputation.
"Zhongde, summon craftsmen to build an altar in every county."
Liu Hong thought for a moment.
There is no better way to win people's hearts than this kind of God-given opportunity.
Throughout the ages, those who pretend to be gods and ghosts are the easiest to win people's hearts.
altar?
Could it be that you want to pray for rain?
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then he handed over his hands and turned to leave.
Although I don’t believe in such ghosts and gods.
However, since it is an adult's order, just follow the order, and there is no need to speculate on the rest.
And Liu Hong was rubbing the official seal of the governor in his hand.
I hope the skills attached to the entry on this official seal are really useful!
Altars were built with great fanfare in various counties and cities in Yanzhou.
It aroused the curiosity of the people of Yanzhou.
After learning about this, some wealthy families gathered together.
"This assassin is old, and he can do ridiculous things like praying for rain."
"Look at it, it's a big joke to pretend to be a ghost."
Several noble families looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"If you want to use such deceptive methods to gather public opinion, what's the difference between you and those yellow scarf thieves?"
"Be careful! You are the governor after all, so be careful that walls have ears."
"By the way, the Cheng family didn't come today?"
One of the noble families suddenly spoke.
"Oh, the Cheng family is not worthy to sit with me."
"right!"
"The Cheng family is just a generation that climbs the dragon and clings to the phoenix, and they are worthy of sitting with me."
"..."
The altar incident had a great impact.
Even Kong Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, knew about this.
However, the fact that the governor of Yanzhou personally prayed for rain was just a joke.
The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods.
If praying for rain was useful, how could the big man give these yellow turban thieves a chance to confuse people's hearts.
"Yellow Turban..."
Thinking of the group of yellow turban thieves who have been causing chaos in Qingzhou recently.
Kong Rong was angry and helpless.
This group of thieves caused chaos everywhere in Qingzhou, and a large number of people became refugees and fled to Yanzhou.
If this continues, he, the governor of Qingzhou, will become a loner.
But the Yellow Turbans were so numerous that with the few soldiers and horses in his hands, they could barely protect themselves.
Not to mention killing thieves and putting an end to chaos.
There is nothing I can do.
On the other side, there is Yanzhou.
Altars in various counties have been prepared and erected.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
There is drought in every county and there is no harvest.
At this critical period, Liu Hong, as the governor of Yanzhou, not only tried to find ways to relieve the disaster and bring peace to the people.
He also spent manpower building altars and fooled the people with stories about ghosts and gods.
Countless people in various counties have long complained.
But because of the respect of the governor, I dare not say it clearly.
"Sir, this matter has a great impact, why don't we postpone it?"
Although Cheng Yu didn't understand what public opinion meant, he also knew that things were getting serious.
There must be someone behind this who is adding fuel to the flames.
This time I pray for rain, if everything can come true.
Privately, there has been a lot of discussion.
He denounced the newly appointed governor as incompetent and incompetent.
With the help of some caring people, even Qingzhou and other places nearby heard about this matter.
